Love the concept of Clear Linux, however if the OS stalls even at the installation stage, I cannot think how bad afterwards may be…I think for an AMD system it is not yet ready, but I will check from time to time to see how it’s coming along.
Using Tiny11 now…as I really like the “small footprint” OS philosophy and if Clear Linux had suitable drivers for the AMD Ryzen 7 series and the AMD GPUs it would have bee a “no-brainer” I think!
Would have even persevered with it 
Sorry to hear that. Although we don’t do anything to block or impact AMD systems, there’s not a lot of testing that goes on on those systems, as you can imagine.

Yeah, it wasn’t an indictment of Clear though…and if I can confirm that bluetooth, and AMD chipset, audio and gpu drivers were somehow tested to be working I’d be back in a shot…not that I ever got it working (see my posts on install issues) the other things I’ve read and seen does promise hope!
It’s just a major pity that AMD do not (choose not?) to put anything into Linux development like Intel have!!
Im just wondering , i have AMD system and i didn’t see any issues so far a part of when i post to clearlinux about issue before installing or first booting system when u need to remove console=… from boot list to make it work properly, otherwise.
- Wifi and bluetooth was working perfectly for me
- GPU theres nothing to say as GPU drivers are literally integrated with linux kernel in general (unless u want to use AMD GPU PRO drivers, can’t comment with nvidia as i replaced nvidia 2 years ago)
- Same thing with audio unless im missing something.
