[PLUG] How do AMD Ryzen 2nd gen processors/boards go with Linux

[Skool!lookS]

Can I help in any way?

Perhaps by helping you by telling things that can/may get it working?

If others can tolerate our conversation on list, otherwise off-list.

As usual there are no guarantees but I have a hunch there may be a working solution...
