I run our (Oxide's) Helios distribution on a headless Ryzen 7900x with an ASRock Rack B650D4U motherboard. I use an Intel X520 NIC for 10GbE.
In general I'd expect Zen 3 and 4 to work, and Zen 5 either right now or very soon.

- gr4vityWall 1y agoThanks for the reply, I appreciate the link! Do you know if people are using it for workstations?
- sunshowers 1y agoNot entirely sure what you mean (do you mean Threadripper, which some of use?), but this is purely a work machine for me. I regularly build and test our software on my Helios box. It isn't exactly the same as our production machines (as you can imagine we have shared environments for this), but we've written in-memory simulators for most of our hardware components so it's good enough for most use cases.
- gr4vityWall 1y agoOh my bad, I meant "workstation" as in, a full desktop with a working desktop environment like XFCE, audio support, GPU acceleration for AMD iGPUs, etc. Thanks again for the informative reply.
- sunshowers 1y agoAh gotcha! I asked internally, and the initial answer is "no", but if someone says yes I'll let you know.
