I've been really happy with my Ryzen 9 3900X on a ASUS X570-PLUS AM4 TUF motherboard [0], with 64GB of RAM and a reused GeForce GTW 970 (built this Feb).
No-drama install on Ubuntu 19.10 (18.04 didn't boot due to drivers?). No kernel panics or even X lockups. It's wonderful to have such a fast development box.
If the stock cooler is too loud, the Noctua NH-D15 is silent until full load when it just audibly whispers.
(I'd been developing PhotoStructure on older hardware to make inefficient code paths more immediately painful, but I needed a beefer box to replicate parallelism issues that some of my beta users were seeing. Thankfully, those issues were immediately apparent, and library syncs are dramatically faster now).
