From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have finally ditched Nvidia and I have nothing but praise for my AMD gpu. Now im in market for new CPU and I kinda want to do same with Intel, since I was on intel my whole life.

At the moment im looking at AMD Ryzen 9 7900 and i5 13600k (if i decide to go with intel) i5 is 70-80euros cheaper in my country.

Will there be any differance betwen those two on linux? What are your experiences with AMD cpus?

Thanks

My experience with my Ryzen 7900x has been no problems. The motherboard (ASRock PG Riptide B650E) had some issues on first boot that just required a BIOS update to fix. But I've had no problems dualbooting Windows and MX Linux on my system. With the caveat that you must use a cutting-edge distro with a 6.x kernel or better for proper hardware support on latest gen stuff.

CPU's are pretty agnostic this gen. Both Intel and AMD have comparable performance. AMD a little better in games, Intel a little better in productivity- but only by a few percent. AMD wins in power efficiency by quite a bit too, with the downside of requiring a DDR5 early-adopter tax for AM5 making the buy in a little more expensive. So it's really a wash no matter who you choose.
