This is the PH517-61 Acer Predator Helios 500 with the Ryzen processor. My first issue I need to deal with is Suspend. I have temporarily disabled suspend in the kcmshell5 configuration. If I do let the laptop suspend and then hit the keyboard I get what appears to be a 1950s TV with no signal. At this point I manually power down and then power up again and am able to view things on screen.
Running these commands I get this information:
$ journalctl -b -g suspend
Compiled without pattern matching support
$ journalctl -b -p3

This is a Vega 56 card but Kubuntu seems to think it is a Vega 64:

I have a couple other issues as well (if i run it off battery for awhile and then plug it in and off a couple of times it won't charge unless I reboot, as well I have to manually run alsamixer every time to get sound through the speakers) but thought I would present this one first.
