Well, I was hoping to have pictures and video to share, but after installing the new board, RAM, and Wi-Fi card, the system throws a display error post code (12th flash is red, all others green) and won't output to the built-in display nor a monitor connected via HDMI. I plug the display back into my 11th gen board to be sure I didn't damage anything, and it still works. Looks like I'm waiting on support to reply to my ticket.
Alright, an update. I'm an idiot. I reseated the RAM, and the board now works. I'm running Ubuntu 23.04, and it is not stable. The instructions provided from Framework say to install linux-oem-22.04c for the kernel, but this is not available in 23.04. I am upgrading to 23.10 to see if it is any better.
Alright, looks like Ubuntu just isn't ready for AMD 7040. Decided to go to Windows 11 just to have a working computer. Good news is I can test some games...
