Does Linux play well on AMD chips



I have lots of issues:
I can't seem to update the ASUS MOBO
the graphics rendering on my desktop shifts the icons from given position to a stacked in the corner after a few hours of being on

not sure why

AMD works great with Linux. As for HP, my personal experience I find their desktop computers to be good, but their laptop computers are throwaways because good luck trying to open it to replace a failed drive. I recommend you go with an Acer or a Dell laptop.

I use to use ASUS motherboards in my computer builds but not anymore. ASUS quality is not what it use to be in my own personal experience as my 3rd computer I built I chose an ASUS motherboard that ASUS lied that it had RAID which it didn't and after 11 months of use I started having kernel panics which I found out the reason for the kernel panics 2 months later which was after the warranty ran out when the motherboard failed because the computer wouldn't boot up anymore. Replace your motherboard with a Gigabyte and what ever you do, don't replace it with a MSI motherboard because they last only 2 months if your lucky. First MSI wouldn't boot and went on fire, 2nd one failed after 2 months.

Heh. Interesting observation.....

My ancient Compaq desktop rig, when it finally expired in January 2020, was getting on for around 16 yrs old. And guess what the mobo was..?

Yup, that's right. MSI.....and the only reason it "coughed" was due to the caps - all Rubicon/Nichicon, BTW - finally drying-out.

It lasted well. Ya couldn't complain...


Mike. ;)
