Yes, ryzen had issues in its early days: <https://www.extremetech.com/computing/254750-amd-replaces-ryzen-cpus-users-affected-rare-linux-bug> <https://www.cobuildlab.com/blog/AMD-fixes-Ryzen-3000-problems-with-Linux/> <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683> I'm running Beowulf on a custom built ryzen 7 1800x system with a MSI b350 gaming plus motherboard with a custom compiled 5.15.11 kernel with no problems. While this is considered old hardware at end of 2021, I'm still amazed by how fast it is compared to what I was used to for a long time before building this machine.
