Just pulled the trigger today on the components for a 2200g and was going the Linux route. I know there is a PPA for the updated mesa and kernel but what about Kodi? Do I use he nightly or unstable with Ubuntu 18.04?
I hope LibreELEC comes along in the future for these because I miss my old APU days.

Ok, i set up my hardware :
I have undervolt the CPU with 100mv offset, it seems stable (run stress-ng for 1 hour), will try a little more undervolting later.
The fan is prettyy silent, even at full speed.
My Memory (flare X 3200) works at expected speed.
I'm compilling Kodi-git, will report later.

An update so far from my side:
Gigabyte GA-B350 Gaming Wifi MB
AMD Ryzen 2400G
Ubuntu 18.04 with Kernel 4.18RC2 and Mesa3D-devel (today‘s build)
- Using VAAPI with todays Mesa build will currently freeze my box within a few minutes to a few hours of watching anything like YT, LiveTV or the like
- Not using VAAPI will „fix“ this issue and no more freezes will happen
- Boot freezes have been reduced greatly with the latest kernel release, but they still do exist.
- Playing games via Steam works ok, unless the game is crap for Mesa drivers (i.e. Divine Divinty). Still get crashes from time to time.
- Emus like WinUAE and Dolphin (devel) work well when using OGL though I get crashes in Dolphinevery few hours or once a day. Though I suspect the emu is the culprit and not Ryzen.
Result so far:
This hardware build is still very much an experiment and cannot be deemed stable at all. Though the progress that is being done is evident in regards to kernel and mesa3d. But it is clearly not there yet.

Try Libreelec 9 builds, latest support this gear pretty well with no major show stoppers for me yet.

What kind of hardware acceleration do you have active In Kodi? Also which kernels and/or Mesa version do you have in place? Just trying to see the differences between your build and mine.

Question: I followed @fritsch guide for Ubuntu 18.04 and use the Padoka MESA PPA with Kodi nightly and all I get is SW decoding only. I even tried mainline 4.17.X kernels along with the firmware files for vega but can get HW decoding. Any thoughts on where to check or what to tweak?

Is it possible to install full blown distro with 2200g? I tried with Ubuntu but I think it needs newer kernel.
