First of all, Thank You so much for becoming a Patron of DL! This is very much appreciated!
As for the distro question, AMD hardware support is built into the Linux kernel these days so any distro with an up to date kernel will run AMD hardware fantastically. The model AMD you have is not extreme bleeding edge so Ubuntu might even work fine.
Ubuntu has an issue of only updating hardware support via the kernel every 6 - 8 months and that can sometimes backfire with newer AMD hardware but I think the model series you have will be just fine for any distro.
I commented about the lightweight factor and the app availability on your other thread.
