debian + AMD Ryzen 7 mix

3000 series support for Linux is a bit spotty and ripe with issues still, afaik

Yes they run fine on Linux.

However, Debian stable is ancient and lacks support for these CPUs. Get something with a rolling kernel such as Debian Unstable, Solus, Manjaro or Fedora.

Also you will likely have to update the BIOS. Early versions of the new X570 motherboards had issues with Systemd making Linux unable to boot, this is fixed in a new BIOS version.

I am still going to highly recommend a distro which is running the latest kernel.

You might have to update the BIOS of the B450 before the Ryzen 3000 will work.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X + Ryzen 9 3900X Offer Incredible Linux Performance But With A Big Caveat...[www.phoronix.com]

TL;DR - best bet is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS since that is what AMD is using to test. Curious if it will be fixed in the 19.10 upcoming release...
