Thank you Stan,
But how does one do a minimal net install if they have just built a new computer and there are no other computers available to make a bootable iso image ? I did not have a way to make a bootable iso image, unless one can do that on an smartphone.
I was implying that I did it using a Chromebook. So Chromebooks do have some functionality, but are just a little confusing at task like that.
I have about two man-hours of usage now in Rawhide on a Ryzen 3. So far so good. Of course, Rawhide is not noticeably different from Fedora 33 at this stage. ( Please do not shoot me for using Rawhide. I have been using it for a year, but I have a low I.Q. )
My Brother laser-printer was detected and worked out-of-the-box.
My cheap used 4 GB Power Color 5500XT seems to work, but I haven't yet played any action games. X570 and NVMe seems to work. All the peripherals work and the "hot-sheet motel" that I am living in, has 1 GB ethernet in the rooms.
I have been playing with all the system-monitor apps, and CPU-X seems to work pretty good.
Here is some temperature data:

I have sufficient fans, I think, but I plan to add more.
If I see anything pertinent or of interest in the future, I will report it, but I do not yet have the Linux skills to say much else about it.
