Your patch addresses many things at once; mostly I wanted to refer you
to the AMD GPU bug. My experience was being quite disgruntled when I
learned AMD had only “free” drivers marketing-wise but not truly free
drivers because no free firmware.
My opposition to recommending Thinkpads is mostly opposition to
recommending specific hardware, which should be the job of RYF and
h-node. Guix cannot keep track.

Your Parabola link is really interesting though; it makes it sound like
even RYF hardware is not without wi-fi trouble …
When you write

then I do agree, but I also think it cannot be in scope for Guix.

H-node says some Intel UHD have no 3d acceleration.
