    Also: Intel Tiger Lake Gen12/Xe graphics driver support considered stable with Linux 5.7 I am actually very interested in the release of Tiger Lake and Xe, since I plan on buying a new laptop this...

    Also:

    I am actually very interested in the release of Tiger Lake and Xe, since I plan on buying a new laptop this year. I might end up getting one of the already-released Ice Lake laptops if they go on an extraordinary sale soon, but otherwise I am almost certainly going to be picking up a Tiger Lake device in Q4.

    Actually, I would love to get an AMD-equipped laptop, especially with the new Renoir devices coming out, but for some reason, AMD laptops still do not come with Thunderbolt 3 and I do not really know why (it is not a hardware limitation, as far as I know).

    Unfortunately, having at least one Thunderbolt 3 port is a requirement for me.

    Double unfortunate, it seems like recent Ice Lake laptops are suffering performance regressions in Linux 5.6 and 5.7:

    I am really interested in these latest developments from Intel, but whew, I want off Team Blue's wild regression ride.


    EDIT:

    Aaaaand fixed:
