A Look At How The AMD EPYC Linux Performance Has Evolved Over The Past Year

Have you tried a new one:
Index of ~/kernel-ppa/mainline

Unfortunately you can't update from this ppa automatically. So you will have 4.17 as long as you don't get a higher version from the standard repos(Which will only happen with a distro upgrade) or until you download a newer one from the kernel-ppa.

Edit: You can also add the Padoka PPA but it is packaging the development driver branch so it's brand new but perhaps also a bit buggy/less buggy - depends from which perspective you look at it.

Thanks I'll give it a try. I'm going to first go with Fedora which I think has a newer kernel, and if not, then I'll try the PPA. Not averse to running development branch.

You could try disabling modesetting (nomodeset in grub) which makes the freeze problem completely go away, but then you loose modesetting and not entirely sure if 3d accel fully works (seemed to work, but can not be sure).

nomodeset prevents the amdgpu kernel driver from initializing at all, so there's no hardware acceleration.

Can you post results of the "cryptsetup benchmark" command?
