Hey Benny!

 BP> without the  grep it was a long story

AH!  Ye olde compatibilty issue.  Also grep here has pcre as a dependency which adds perl regexp.  I haven't used a stock grep (without pcre) in ages so I don't recall all the differences offhand.  Anyhow here is the answer we are looking for;

 BP>   -march=                               znver2

Excellent!  That is what I suspected from a spec sheet I found posted somewhere, execpt they called it Zen2 if I am not mistaken.

 MK>> If true then what a terrible waste.

 BP> in what way a waste ?

We misunderstood each other.  If gcc wasn't onboard, which it obviously is, then it would have been a wasted machine.  Without gcc you might as well install windows and then take it out back and shoot it (ie put it out of it's misery).  However from what I see I'm definetly interested, although I believe there is a new ryzen that I am led to believe is a znver3.  It is also an Asus and is roughly the same cost as yours.

Life is good,
Maurice
