I'm upgrading a dual processor Opteron (Abu Dhabi) to a Ryzen 2000 series processor.
I understand that there seems to be a minimum retirement somewhere in the 4.x kernels for proper boost support and stability being somewhere around 4.18. As the Ryzen processors are not officially supported by RHEL 7 and there haven't been any backports for it yet that I'm aware of, I'm looking at either using Fedora Server or CentOS 7 with the epel mainline kernel.
I always prefer CentOS as I don't have any pressing need for the latest packages and am always happy with the stability and consistency provided by the distro. I've never used the mainline kernel with CentOS before. What issues might I face with this configuration? Should it be more or less transparent?
I also want to mention that CentOS 7.5 actually installs and runs just fine with the stock kernel. But there is a warning message at startup about the unsupported hardware. I haven't done any further testing beyond confirming that it boots and runs.
