    I meant the clear linux kernel,they seem to have diff kernel bundles and i want to go with the Lts one.

The clear linux does run on amd hardware,at phoronix they tried it on the new eypec cpu line from amd. Performs well and wont hinder performance.

No nvidia or amd gpu support though.But for those who want pure computing power for containers etc this can be a solid option,it does perform much better than other linux distro kernels. 

I find this interesting,and a fun learning experience to get my feet wet.
