Hi all,
We are purchasing a new laptop for a new employee.
We’ll be booting directly into bios, changing settings as required, and installing linux immediately (either Fedora or POP).
However, we’ve only ever run intel machines.
Does anyone know if this could potentially cause any issues? We want a set and forget experience (have had that with intels).
