Here I was hoping we would get a breakdown on the companies making ARM processors ... Still an informative comments section.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

While it probably isn't the issue for you, I have once been chasing a hard freeze that was caused by some APM setting in the BIOS. If you are on AMD right now you could check it.
It was very weird, setting it to automatic would cause random freezes. Setting it to on or off would both work just fine. Somehow the automatic setting gave me issues.
Just a random thing for you to check I guess.
Not 100% sure if it is the same issue as you linked to, but I have an early Ryzen 7 1700 that has a hardware error (google "ryzen performance marginality" to find info about it) causing it not to work properly with linux. I never bothered to RMA my CPU. I've made it kinda work anyways, by disabling cool and quiet or whatever it is called, and set a fixed overclock to compensate for the lack of turbo after that. The idea is that the CPU should always run at a fixed clock speed instead of clocking down to save power when idle. Haven't had any issues with this CPU for a while now after I did that.
BTW I upgraded my desktop with a 3900x and put the 1700 in a server. Never had any issues with the 3900x on linux, so getting a newer generation ryzen for you PC second hand or something might just fix it as well.
Thank you, I'm getting this response a lot. Will be getting a newer gen Ryzen, probably a Ryzen 5 5600X because I don't want to get an AM5 board (which will only support DDR5 RAM, thus I'll have to replace my perfectly good DDR4 sticks, etc, just a ridiculous amount of unnecessary e-waste when I've had multiple people commenting here saying 5000 series seem to work fine)
Flapping about, feeling morally superior... did you even try to search for an answer or did you just want to virtue signal? Take a look at RIsc, or Arm... or w/e the Chinese just released.
I've no ideia what you're rambling about. I can attest that the Ryzen 5 1600 and the Ryzen 5 2600 that aren't even new CPUs run perfectly fine with Debian.
I heard that Linux gets new patches for Loongson, but I didn't try it yet.
I appreciate you raising this question, thank you.
I run AMD r9 7000 series fine on Linux since like a month
Am I the only one of the opinion tech companies that don't produce any kind of military equipment should not have any political leaning whatsoever?
