For now both DIY and prebuild edition (all configurations) are in batch 4 which ships in late Q4 2023.
Was considering getting one early next year and so just waiting a bit before ordering one. Seeing how fast they are selling out, this might actually be quite tough, haha ^^
What sort of Linux compatibility can we expect with this generation?
If you stick with Ubuntu LTS or Fedora you should have full support out of the box
[...] or the DIY Edition that you can configure more deeply, assemble yourself, and bring your preferred OS, including Linux. AMD has a strong focus on Linux drivers, and we provide in-house support and guides for Ubuntu LTS and Fedora.

I haven’t followed their activities re/ beginning to also use Ryzen chips (or at all, to be honest) recently, but I am very glad they seem to be doing well & able to produce/ship another compelling product!
Their core ideas have sounded compelling to me from the start.
