FTR, I am a Linux user. I *had* Windows in my home up to this past weekend when I finally formatted the SSD drives in my Ryzen 2700x and installed Ubuntu 19.10. It took some hunting and pecking on Github to find the right 8812au WiFi driver for my TP-Link T9UH but once I found the right one, managed to get it to compile and install this baby is a screamer. 8 CPU Cores, 16 threads, 32GB of Memory and an SSD RAID Array and this thing is greased lightning.

Everything I used to be able to do on Windows I can do on Linux with suitable open source replacements and for those I cannot find, there's WINE which just works.

I may get around to putting a Windows 10 VM on this thing for anything I need on Windows that I cannot find on Linux but am not anticipating doing that anytime soon. I'm so glad I finally made the cutover. Been wanting to do it for a long time and had time over the weekend. Woo hoo!!

I bought the Ryzen 5 1600 for $100 off at Microcenter. Got a pretty good CPU for $80 - a real steal (no I didn’t actually steal it).
