A Brief Review of the Minisforum V3 AMD Tablet
I wrote a blog post about my experience with the Minisforum V3 AMD Tablet, focusing on how Linux/Fedora/KDE works on this device and how Linux performs on the tablet devices.

Nice review, thanks for sharing! I was curious about how the V3 was with Linux. I've got a Minisforum UM780 mini PC with a 7840HS, which I use as a homelab box, and it's been excellent on Arch. I was tempted to get the V3 as well, but 14" is a bit too big for my use case (primarily as a tablet).
But it's nice knowing that even the fingerprint reader worked out of the box, I know that's been a sore point for many Linux users. The battery life seems a bit on the lower end though - have you tried TuneD yet? Apparently some folks have experienced better battery life with it, compared to PPD. I'm also curious what the battery life would be like if you ran a distro which used x86-64-v4 packages, such as CachyOS, in theory you should get better battery life since you'd be using more optimised instructions.
Thanks for the information! I'll definitely try TuneD to see how it can improve battery life. CachyOS looks interesting and promising, I'll test it with a USB SSD.
