From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I had it on my Windows 11 PC for a long time. I use this PC for music production and it was infuriating - the sound would just cut out intermittently like the computer couldn't keep up. I tried lots of things, including an expensive CPU upgrade. In the end Asus released a new BIOS for the motherboard to address this AMD stutter, and that fixed it.
Which AGESA version?
I don't really know anything about that. Currently HWiNFO64 shows Microcode Update Revision A201025 and SMU Firmware Revision 56.74.0. I don't know whether those are the numbers you're asking for, or what they were while it was still having problems.
Thanks for the info! I'll have to check that against what I'm using.
