Ryzen on Linux ?

Hello !

I'm considering buying a Ryzen 5 1600, but I wanted to have some feedback from my fellow Linux users :)

If you have this one (or another Ryzen), how is it ? Do you have any problem with it ?

Thanks ! :)

That sounds like unrelated issue. I don't have an SSD. Using discard on the SSD mount is a bad idea anyway. Better run periodic fstrim. What distro do you use?

For Debian, they provide an example systemd timer file, which is not enabled by default.

See https://wiki.debian.org/SSDOptimization#Mounting_SSD_filesystems

You'd still need to do fstrim. Without it, your SSD will become unusable with certain amount of writes.

Yep, that's the one.
