I suspect their work optimizes around a relatively narrow band of supported hardware. The Beta 1 release, when I tried it on my Ryzen-based desktop, wouldn't get past the splash screen, stalling out at things that seemed to revolve around the SATA controller. Meanwhile, pop the same flash drive in a Thinkpad X230t, and it booted and installed fine, and even Wi-Fi worked without a significant hitch.

There was (is) an undiagnosed issue that is preventing BIOS booting from working on Ryzen. I know one of the other devs runs Haiku on his Ryzen via EFI and says it works like a charm. > I suspect their work optimizes around a relatively narrow band of supported hardware. Not by design, but just by circumstance -- we developers optimize for the hardware we have and use, and not many others tend to submit patches, so that's the way it goes.
