I'm looking at Ryzen builds. I won't build until 15.0.

If you are using Ryzens please list your motherboards and any issues.

Thanks!

Edit: Anybody using the 2400G?

Gigabyte AB350-gaming 3

You just need to update to the latest firmware and you are good to go

You might want to look at the ASUS Prime Plus series.

If you are a gamer there is the "TUF" series.

One can also read through the user reviews at newegg.com to get an idea as to the quality
of the various motherboards currently available.

I have the ASRock X370 Taichi. I've been running it on 14.2 without issues except for upgrading the kernel, firmware, and updating the pciids database.

Note, my only requirement has been to pass rcu-nocbs=0-(numberOfCores - 1) to the kernel append line to prevent the occasional lockup when idle (since I have the 1800X, I do rcu-nocbs=0-15). See this bug report for more (looks like there might be some updates I need to read through).

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with ASUS TUF X470-Plus Gaming

It works great. I'm not a gamer though, I use it for video and audio editing and I'm very happy with how it all works.

First I had an MSI X470 Gaming Plus but something was wrong with the RAM in double channel.

I haven't had any major trouble with any of the Ryzen boards I have tried with Slack -current so far.

Asus B350M-A with Ryzen 1200 and then later 2400G. Only had initial trouble with onboard graphics. Troubles went away with Kernel 4.19.2 and up. Has stupid on-board LEDs that turn themselves back on after power outage.

Asrock X370m-PRO4 with Ryzen 1200. Motherboard has no onboard RGB, which I consider a good thing. I have since sold this system, I probably should have kept this motherboard instead of the Asus B350M-A

Asus X470-Pro with Ryzen 1700x. Has RGB, but manages to stay off even after power outage.

Thanks for the shared reports all.

I am looking at the ASUS PRIME B450M-A/CSM motherboard with a 2400G. I prefer on-board graphics rather than a discrete card. Also there does not seem to be many inexpensive options for discrete cards (I won't use NVidia ).

From this review, the "onboard" GPU in AMD's APUs is pretty similar performance-wise to an Nvidia GT 1030 and seems to be pretty solid on Linux too (as far as GPUs included with CPUs are concerned).

Keep in mind Zen2 (Ryzen 3000 Series) is due out in a few months from now. Even in the event Slackware 15 is released before then, it will be a good idea to hold off till then. There is likely to be some good deals on the older series CPUs at that time. If you are in the US near a MicroCenter one can get a 1700X for $10 more than a 2400G.

If you aren't afraid of ex-mining cards, check the used market.
Since the mining craze has finally ended, there can be some great deals to be had on AMD RX570 and RX580 cards on the used market. I have had some good luck with two ex-mining 8GB RX580 cards I have gotten recently.

The 2400G includes a GPU and the 1700X doesn't. So depending on someone's planned system, they may prefer one over the other.

I saw that review some days ago, which is what persuaded me that Linux systems probably are finally ready for 2nd gen APUs.
I'm never in a hurry to buy new hardware. I prefer to wait a year. Seems to take that long before the Linux ecosystem catches up to new hardware. Vendors release immediate support for Windows but not always for Linux.

That's me. On-board video is more than enough. Not a gamer.

Yeah, I'm looking at getting the 2200G for my HTPC, because I don't plan on doing any games and that will be more than enough power to decode any videos I throw at it.

Ryzen 7 2700X on an Asus AMD PRIME X370-PRO - rock-solid all day for work and do a fair bit of gaming when I get the time. Ubuntu 18.04.2.
