Which Intel Gen? On my 12th gen the brightness keys didn't even work out of the box on Fedora (IIRC they've been working on the fix since 2022). There's also random freezes that you can only fix by tweaking some SSD boot param (but only some SSDs are impacted)
I did have a period of random freezes, but mine was RAM related (I had bought some RAM from Newegg, which I think was bad; I returned it and haven’t had any problems since I swapped it out).
