In my previous company for almost 7 years we used AMD + debian for desktop
from 2007 to 2014
We don't find any issues specifically with desktop.

We have a lot of Linux distros available, Ubuntu package manager is derived
from debian.
Search for which distro suits AMD otherwise.

Always make sure the home and root partitions separate when you install.
This will help you in OS crash scenarios to save your work.

My suggestion +1 for AMD for Desktop.
