Yep, you can't always wait for the perfect product to come along — sometimes circumstances force your hand. Not only did that processor not exist at the time, but even if it did there were going to be a bunch of compatibility issues with it on Ubuntu (like there always are when new hardware is released). I simply didn't want to have to deal with those sorts of issues for — potentially — months. Maybe the Ryzen 5 3400G(E) will be a compelling upgrade? We shall see.
