I bought exactly that card from exactly that shop and I'm more than happy with it.
No issues so far. Arch, Kernel 5.4.
As you said there are important Navi fixes in 5.5, what improvements are (apart from overclocking support) to expected from the 5.5 kernel release?

A few freeze fixes, but they possibly were backported to 5.4.x too, I didn't follow that.

There some AMD fanboys that are saying this isn't so, but are overwhelmed.

Setting up a Ubuntu 20.04 (yes I know - it's still two more months till release, but the symptoms are the same I had with 19.10).
No additional PPA, the stock Navi BIOS that comes with the distro, no additional "sensors package" installed, Kernel 5.4, Mesa 19.3.3. Just OOTB.
2 out of 3 boots give me

The remaining 30 to 40% of the boots run smooth and I end up on the desktop after a few seconds. The above boot also ends up on the desktop eventually (after around 45 seconds), but for example launching steam gives another slew of powerplay fails with the delays that go along with that.
BUT: Even when things go smoothly, Rise of the Tomb Raider gives me 30fps in the benchmark (already had that with Ubuntu 19.10), with no powerplay fails. On the contrary an 18.04 Ubuntu with Mesa 19.3 from the Kisak PPA and the 5.3 distro kernel gives me 140+ fps - about 5 times more.
Bottom line: If things change not dramatically in the next few weeks an RX 5700 will be unusable in a fresh Ubuntu 20.04. By that time the GPU will have been on the market for nearly a year. AMD - why can't you get your shit together?

I briefly had the 5.5 kernel running the 20.04 - also gave me a powerplay failure. Anyway, the bottom line remains: If someone installs a brand new Ubuntu 20.04 in April (or an equally popular spin-off like Mint) his RX 5700 experience will be most likely dreadful. And the 5.5+ won't land in Ubuntu proper before Ubuntu 21.04.
Anyway, I'll give 5.6 a try once it draws closer to stable.
