See the screenshot for the laptop specifications. Everything is working fine. I received the machine with pre installed Ubuntu-18.04. Upgraded it to 20.04.
My machine is Dell Latitude 3500

New laptop!
MSI Modern 14 B4MW, with an AMD Ryzen 4500U APU, 8GB RAM (expandable), 500GB NVMe SSD

I use Manjaro these days but also tried out Ubuntu MATE, KDE Neon and Linux Mint.
Suspend doesn't seem to work with Linux yet, but I followed a quick tutorial to enable hibernation, and that works ok. The Elantech clickpad has a couple of issues but I found a workaround to get it going. The Fn keys that MSI assigned to turning the clickpad and microphone on and off do not work. Nearly all their other Fn keys (sound, keyboard backlight, display management) work.
Speakers, microphone, work.

Edit: I've found out that I made a mistake during installation (i set the BIOS to legacy mode instead of UEFI) which is why the computer won't sleep. Other people with this laptop say it's flawless.

Edit: I've read more on this problem since, and it seems more likely that its the changes in laptop sleep modes since i last bought a computer (from "S3 sleep" to "modern standby") that have caused my problem.

Edit: I'm not sure the above is correct. I did a BIOS update (MSI published a new BIOS for my laptop 2 weeks ago) and now suspend AND my trackpad work perfectly. No more workarounds. Yay.

14 inch screen, matte finish
AMD Ryzen 4700U CPU - 8 core, 8 thread
8G RAM
1TB SSD

I deleted the pre-installed Windows.
I installed Xubuntu 20.04 (my preferred distro). A number of things didn't work immediately (I think I had to use the "safe graphics") option when installing. Screen brightness and sound buttons didn't work. Would lock up whenever the screensaver kicked in, requiring a hard reset.

But I read the hardware needed a newer kernel, and followed the directions here: https://www.tecmint.com/upgrade-kernel-in-ubuntu/ and installed the latest kernel at the time, 5.8.11 from here: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ . I had to disable secure boot to allow this unsigned kernel to load.

Now it's gorgeous. Everything works perfectly except the fingerprint reader. I presume later versions of ubuntu will arrive with a later kernel that already has the drivers built in.
