I can't speak to Fedora, but Debian stable runs great. Best laptop I've owned, hands down.

Caveats:

+ Wifi needs kernel 5.19 from backports (USB tether your phone to download.). + fprintd (fingerprint) from testing/bookworm. + Brightness keys conflict with the ambient light sensor. + Power optimization fiddling.

I found answers for all the above on their forums, day 1.

Pleasant surprises:

- P-series chip gets out of my way. (U-series battery life sounds nice, but dev tasks can be jarringly slow. YMMV.). - Fan is not distracting at full load

Disappointments:

- Fractional scaling. Workaround: bump font, icon sizes in desktop settings. - SD card reader consumes ~1W idle. - Speakers could be louder. I believe there's a new module.
