I have a Gigabyte X370 w/ Ryzen 5 2600, the only problem I had was I needed
to flash the BIOS. It's been rock solid ever since.

My son has a Gigabyte Aorus X570 w/ Ryzen 5 3600 and it runs Fedora just
fine. I wouldn't worry too much unless you got into bleeding edge or stuff
with strange hardware, neither of which should be the case in your budget.
