Check current compatibility for Red Hat Enterprise with AMD Ryzen 7 processors.
Hello, today I'm getting a new Ryzen system for high school. I need to know how compatible Red Hat is with AMD Ryzen, since I don't want Windows and only use it in a VM for gaming. If compatibility issues arise, do you have better alternatives? Also, if you can assist with completing my build, please let me know. Also, feel free to check the link provided.

I’ll upgrade my R7 260X to a fresh OS for the host system. I’m using a FreeSync display with my Windows VM and still have an old LG 1680x1050 monitor for the host OS. Growing up on Red Hat Enterprise has given me strong knowledge of RHEL, which is why I’m considering Ubuntu. I’ve run well with Phenom 1055T, 12 GB RAM, GTX 690, and R7 260X without issues. The key factor is my familiarity with RHEL. Will Ubuntu be a better choice? I need to edit videos, photos, use CAD, and manage virtualization for my high school—most of us are using older Athlon or Phenom systems.
I own two SSDs—one for the operating system and another installed in the VM. This setup works fine, and I prefer not to dual boot since my father experienced crashes on an Xeon machine with that configuration. It was highly unstable.
It wasn’t very clear from your first message what your background is with these subjects. Using an enterprise-level commercial distro at home or school seemed a bit unusual. The main reason to choose Ubuntu is that it’s built for desktop environments, which differs significantly from RHEL in terms of config file locations and administration tools. If you’re comfortable with the desktop setup RHEL offers, it makes sense to stick with it. For dual boot, running the OS natively on the hardware is usually the simplest approach—it works directly without any middle layers that might cause issues. I don’t understand why you’d want instability after setting up the disk and boot loader correctly. If you’re already familiar with virtualization’s pros and cons, go ahead with that option.
Many believe it's strange, yet I've been studying OS since early childhood. I'm well aware of its benefits, though the drawbacks are just two separate GPUs which aren't really an issue. I've noticed how poorly it performs on my dad's Xeon machine because he's using it at home due to store closures, which made me reconsider upgrading. On his system it was quite unstable, as I mentioned before, causing crashes whenever he wanted to play games (he has an RX Vega 56). I'm currently running ATM RHEL 5.5 and observe some clear differences compared to RHEL 7.
Explore Fedora for advanced virtualization needs. You may require cutting-edge kernel versions and support for bleeding edge hardware like AMD Ryzen and VMs. Patching the kernel is essential to achieve smooth performance with an AMD processor in VM-PT setups because of a KVM npt issue. A Ryzen 7 1700 works well for KVM/QEMU Windows 10 virtual machines. Once patched, activate SVM and IOMMU via BIOS—setup becomes straightforward in Fedora (run sudo dnf update and sudo dnf install @virtualization).
