I have 2 systems running Intel processors and three running AMD. I don't see any difference between either when running Linux. Something to consider over the processor brand is the motherboard. My son and I have both had the best success with Gigabyte and MSI motherboards. I like an ssd for the operating system and an hdd for data drive. For basic reference, one of my systems is running LL using an AMD A4-3400 with 4GB of ram and an ssd. As an HTPC, it's been a fast and trouble free system for 4 years. Not a gaming system but a nice computer just the same.
