I have a Ryzen 5 2400g running on that same motherboard, and it's running Linux Mint just fine, so I don't see why your setup shouldn't run GNU/Linux, but my experience with GNU/Linux is rather limited.
Someday, maybe I'll figure out exactly what the hell I'm doing.

Linux Mint is GNU/Linux. Among many.


Linux refers specifically to the kernel and system software, while GNU generally refers to the assortment of user-space utilities (cd, cp, ls, etc.)



Linux Mint 21 Vanessa, MATE 1.26.0, kernel 5.15.0*, Dell 2-in-1
AMD Ryzen 7 5825U / Barcelo iGPU - 14" WUXGA Touchscreen

I found that out long after I wrote that post, I guess that shows that there are simple things I still don't know. However, now, I do, so the process of learning goes on and on...
