Because they are just rebranding oem devices

Then why isn't there a single one of them that picks an AMD OEM device to rebrand? Why sell a Linux gaming laptop at all if the key piece of hardware that makes it a gaming laptop is one with infamously bad Linux driver support?

Aren't any AMD based ones? Seems to be very few laptops with AMD gfx overall.

I am very happy with my RX6800 based Asus Zephyrus G14 laptop :)

My RX6700 based 2022 is a beast. I think Valve did an amazing job with the AMD based Steam deck leveraging Linux as well! You can hook up the little handheld to a monitor or a TV and still have a blast with nearly all of your existing Steam library for not much money.
