I just bought the Huawei Matebook D for university and I'm installing right now Ubuntu on a partition. Everything works fine and there's no driver issues, the only thing that doesn't work is the mic hotkey, not a dealbreaker if you ask me!

The Ryzen CPU is not stable under Ubuntu. My system froze every few hours, and I could not find a fix. Upgrading the kernel to 4.19 did not help. Furthermore the Matebook ships with severely limited BIOS options, and I was not able to adjust some of the settings people with other Ryzen systems found to be relevant. I ended up returning the laptop after two weeks.

You can google "Ryzen freeze" for more threads on the subject, here is one example: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2394464
