I can not offer Mr. Amadeus any advice.
But I am happy with my B550 motherboard. Not overjoyed, just happy.
Mine is the Gigabyte Vision D and I chose it because it has a large chipset
heatsink and slightly away from the graphics-card slot
Things you might give up are the front Type "C" USB port.
I do not think I got the wi-fi working, but I was using ethernet.
For my needs, the Ryzen 5 was sufficient. I do not have anyone to impress
by spending more.
Look at the number of SATA ports you need.
My next motherboard will have three NVMe, and a riser-card for more NVMe.
SATA is so 2019. LOL !
I do not yet see any noticeable benefit to the new faster NVMe over 2019
versions of NVMe, nor RAM faster than 3200, but I do plan to splurge on all
that someday.
On a totally different note, Linux container on my cheap Chromebook works
good. ( Please do not shoot the messenger. LOL ! )
