I go to https://www.amd.com/en/products/specifications/processors.html quite often, as I can filter on any CPU specification and pull up the technical details I need right away.
For the AI 365, https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/300-series/amd-ryzen-ai-9-365.html, AMD specifically lists Ubuntu and Red Hat as supported.
Ryzen 8000-series, https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/8000-series/amd-ryzen-7-8840hs.html, same story.
So, to actually answer your question, I think going with the AI 300 series might be a little premature. I tend to wait a generation, sometimes two, before adopting a new architecture or CPU model. There's just no telling what bugs need to be ironed out, what lessons were learned in the fabrication/design process, and so on.
The Ryzen 8000 series is built on a stable, time-tested platform. I would go with that, unless you are the adventurous type.
This is not correct. The mobile chips have changed their naming scheme in 2022 to an potentially misleading scheme, where the first number does not mean the architecture but the year it released. See https://www.xda-developers.com/amd-processors-explained/
