Some other tips

I followed: https://etiennemueller.github.io/razer-blade-data-science/

Basically to fix the suspend loop with:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash button.lid_init_state=open"

Make Wifi AX210 card work (with bluetooth)

It needs kernel 5.11.0 (I tried higher and lower versions and nothing worked as of 26/07/2021).

You can install it with:

# Install the mainline tool that allows to install kernels easily
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cappelikan/ppa
sudo apt install mainline
mainline --install 5.11.0

Reboot and choose Advanced > Boot on the 5.11.0 kernel.

You may want to use grub-customizer to force your system to always boot with this kernel.

Make Nvidia work

I made it work by installing nvidia-driver-470 from the graphics driver ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-470

Optionally, allow to use the intel card for non-gpu intensive tasks:

sudo prime-select on-demand

Reboot.
