Works fine on AMD Ryzen 6850U. F42 kde.
so far it's good for me: MSI gl63rcs intel 8750h nvidia gtx1050 fedora42 WS gnome. but with some notes: 1. first booting with new kernel firewalld service loading failed, but after second booting, it looks normal; 2.when login, gnome online account failed to connect, including calender on center top bar failed to load event, workaround: log out then login again and it's solved; 3.after certain time, system freeze around 2-3 secs then resume like normal; 4. I also noticed gnome-shell process uses less cpu compared to previous kernel I used (6.15.9), before average around 20-30% cpu thread usage (i use "top" command) compared to average around 10-20% with 6.16.7. In shorts, it look okay.
Lenovo P16s Gen2 AMD (7840U + 780M) : everything is working fine. Tests run and uploaded (kernel-test-1757869195)
