I received my 7840 mainboard yesterday and excitedly swapped it into my laptop then spent all day trying to get pop os working properly. it wouldnt. i tried to get ubuntu working with frameworks instructions but it was never quite right. it seemed like my only option was to switch to Fedora which im not a huge fan of. i was having display issues no matter what, and using nomodeset would get it to work, but with incorrect display settings.

Then this morning i noticed there was a BIOS update to 0.0.3.3 so i installed it. Immediately all my issues with pop os went away and things are working perfectly.

Hope this helps someone.

    Popos works flawlessly on the AMD 13 then? Great news! I’m in batch 6 and I was thinking of going straight with Fedora due to the (minor) issues with other distros, but pop would be my first choice. No issues with the fingerprint reader either?
