Hardware: AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS Nvidia GTX4050 Realtek RTL8852BE 
BIOS: version F.07

Tested configuration:

Do not use an image writer like Ventoy (broken stage2 discovery). Use something else like Rufus or Fedora Media Writer which worked in my case.

Now that only leaves the hybrid GPU issues (display quirks under Xen: black screens, forced reboots etc…)

In GRUB, press the E key to add these boot parameters:

rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0 xdriver=amdgpu

Then press the Ctrl + X keyboard shortcut. After successful installation, make it permanent.

This only works for the stable official kernel and for some reason fails to load xsession/installer for the latest kernel.

Hope this could prove useful to other.

It would be great if you could make a HCL report out of this:

Is this using S3 or s0ix (s2idle) suspend? (this is present in /sys/power/mem_sleep)

(If s0ix) Did you have to apply any s0ix workarounds or did it work out of the box?

I also have a recent AMD laptop and it seems like it can never reach full deep s0ix suspend (hot laptop in the backpack).
