In addition, how will gaming under linux fare with Ryzen? I am aware that some games like XCOM2 suffer from a bit of a performance penalty under older AMD cpus, like my 8350. Deus Ex Mankind Divided is also a bit of rough going. Really hoping that getting a Ryzen cpu will help me out a bit.
Someone at Reddit collect all the issues of Ryzen and put them in a Megathread , hopefully they will be solved with a Bios Upgrade or Kernel Upgrade...

What shall I use it for? Gaming of course! And maybe a little work (I do product ordering and inventory for my place of employment). ;)
I will definitely report in when I got the new rig put together and fired up. Gotta admit, I'm excited. I hope this new chipset is a return to AMD's former glory, sure seems that way. Viva la Ryzen! :D
The r5's should be out by this summer right? Well, for you friend, I hope they get released as soon as possible. Cheers! :)
I had issues with my order, first i pre-ordered(i dont usualy preorder but since i killed my previous board i had no other option) from amazon. waited and waited and nothing arrived, turned out they didnt have mobo in the stock even and didnt want to tell when it will arrive so i canceled my oder and ordered from caseking.de. There was a issue with UPS package management, they sent it to wrong place or something but now its sorted and should arrive today finally :).
I ordered Ryzen 1700X and ASUS Prime X370-Pro
already arrived parts are Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB DDR4 3200mhz and Noctua NH-U12S for AM4
Got myself a Ryzen 7 1700 and a B350-Plus, Ubuntu 16.04 does boot but no network :(
Will install Kubuntu 17.04 Alpha2 and try again.
