fedora on amd ryzen 7

[Amadeus W.M.]

My trustworthy dell precision 7400 has finally died - although I may be 
able to resurrect it. I'm looking into building a new pc, and I'm 
considering an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, with the appropriate motherboards 
and peripherals. 

Does fedora run on that, and are there any known issues? Most of the work 
I do is programming, so I need the development suite - gcc/g++, gdb, 
emacs, etc. I'm not looking for a processor recommendation, just want to 
know what to expect with fedora on amd.

Thanks!

Been running Fedora on AMD systems for more than a decade. No significant
issues. My primary workstation where I do all of my packaging/development
work is a Ryzen 5 3600 with an older A370 motherboard. My son runs the same
processor on an X570 MB.

I've also recently acquired an HP ENVY x370 with 4500U processor. Fedora
runs great, the only problem is the lack of S3 suspend so I have to shut it
down when I'm done using it.

Thanks,
Richard

I too was wondering about this, as I am in the process of building a PC 
for both my son and I...he wants an AMD Ryzen 7 "5xxx" series....I was 
going to go with the Ryzen 5 "5xxx" series. Nice to know it works with 
no issues. Now if only I can get some decent GPU's without having to pay 
"NASA" prices for 'em!@...LoL!

Beautiful! This is very reassuring. Thank you!

I want to run some deep learning models so I'll go with an nvidia card, but just out
of curiosity,
does Fedora ship with the drivers for the radeon card, or it's a similar process to
nvidia's 
proprietary drivers?

The AMD drivers are open-source and included in the kernel.
