new AMD machine-results and status

[entropyfoe]

I got authorization from the boss, and Amazon Prime had some really good hardware deals.

I went with the
Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus
Ryzen 9700X (a big upgrade to 8 cores from the 6 I have used before -nice, stockfish uses all these threads !)
64G Ram (Crucial)
Booting Samsung NVMe 1TB
Data on Samsung NVMe 2TB
I will try the integrated Radeon graphics, and see how it goes.

So, and advice as to standard 23.6 or AHS version? Any experience or thoughts on support for the integrated video?
My thinking is though the CPU is very new, the board is kind of last years model, so the Linux stuff should already be in the kernel.

Also thinking ahead to MX 25 of course.
I will use my usual partition scheme, three for a Warren style

/
swap
/home

with the fourth for an experimental partition for testing the new version grub to root.

That's an excellent choice for a CPU because you can use the GPU part of it. Go with a Gigabyte motherboard since in my personal experience that ASUS quality has dropped sharply and that's coming from someone that always used ASUS motherboards in 4 different computer builds. My fourth computer build now runs a Gigabyte motherboard because I found out the hard way what the "TUFF" really means when it comes to ASUS when it failed after 13 months which is one month out of warranty. Currently in that same computer I built the Gigabyte motherboard is still going strong since early 2020. I would go with the AHS version of MX 23.6 LINUX based on your choices. Depending on many factors keep an eye on the CPU temperature. In my case I switched out the stock cooler with the Noctua NH-D12L CPU cooler. For you it might be different.
This is my setup.

With a CPU that new, the AHS version is a must. Also be prepared to upgrade to a Liquorix kernel post install.

[siamhie]

My thinking is though the CPU is very new, the board is kind of last years model, so the Linux stuff should already be in the kernel.

Linux will pick up whatever the BIOS reports as far as the motherboard goes. Upgrade to the 6.12 kernel and the Mesa 24 series (AHS has this) graphics drivers for the onboard GPU.

You didn't mention networking. Are you going with wired or wireless?

[entropyfoe]

siamhie, I will be using the on board ethernet, wired. The board does have a wireless option, but that is a future option for me. I looked at the newer 870 boards, but read some recent comments/reviews that said there were driver problems with the on board eth0 and wireless, probably too new. So I went with the older B650 board. Is that MESA 24 needed for the new chip/integrated graphics?

Mauser, I already bought the Auus TUF, so I will have to roll the dice. The CPU pulls only 65W, so I am hoping for a cool system with long reliability. I did buy an upgraded cooler a Hyper 212 Evo, which I have used before, it is adequate for up to 150W CPUs, so it should keep this cool.

j2mcgreg, If I boot the live standard 23.6, and all works, is this going to be good on install? Is it worth a try? I can also have the AHS version on tap as a back-up. Do the AHS kernels update automatically with synaptic?
Or does this lock me into manual kernel upgrading?

@entropyfoe The Mesa 24 package is for your onboard GPU. Search for mesa in MX Package Installer.

If it works with the standard version, then you are good to go. However, there is ample evidence here in the forums that Ryzen based computers just run better with a Liquorix kernel and that means that you will need the AHS version in order to have them all available to install. IF you select the Liquorix 64 bit (AHS updates package) in MXPI. it will install the latest available Liquorix kernel and update it afterwards.

[jj 5117]

@entropyfoe
There's no added trouble with using the Liquorix kernel. Selecting its auto-update will keep it fresh. It has Never caused me any problems--EVEN though once or twice a small weird thing might happen on a pushed kernel. In that VERY rare case, you can either work around it until the next kernel update OR select the PRIOR kernel from the GRUB menu. .... I've been very very happy with Liquorix auto updates. .... Experience is from this 2+1/2-ish year old machine:

Good Luck for a Smooth Build.

@entropyfoe I'm adding a +1 for the AHS version, though I'm in a different camp as to having an auto updating kernel, I update mine manually as I see fit, probably every 2-3 months and it lowers maintenance by not having to trim them back to save space in the FEI boot partition.
I run AHS on most everything I own or provision for others, some of which run our KDE version. I get the occasional lockup on my Mancave PC, but that's because I hammer it way more than any of the others.

I agree with you about not auto-updating a kernel. I only update mine after seeing positive reports about the new versions and if I see a definite benefit in doing so. However, the OP asked about the possibility and I gave him the how to.
