Would it be safer to switch to a cheap ssd drive first until you figure out the problems then clone it over to the M2 drive?
Safer yes. But my last sata SSD bit the dust. And the "other" new m2 SSD cost about $20 (so at least it is cheap).
I have HDD's that I can fire up for the SATA fallback option.
So will start with the presumption that previous new m2 ssd is faulty. If I recreate the problem with the other new (fresh right out of the packaging) then I can point at something wrong with the MB.
Then I can TRY a HDD solution again.
But it really would make me wonder about the Epyc MB.

I've used Fedora, Ubuntu and OpenSUSE at one time or another and I've now found that Pop!_OS is even simpler again. It doesn't fullfil all of the author's criteria of "well-established, comes with corporate backing, and has a substantial community" though.
Cheers, Mike.

Does it just run like the current Ubuntu tagline promotes?

The Test-Bench is up with the putative "bad" M2 ssd.
This should help me decide if the Epyc MB had a problem with it's M2 slots.

I didn't have any issues with my M.2 drive in your board while I was testing it. Ran it for several days.
Think it is just your cheap $20 drive.
Only had a lot of read/write failures when had gpu installed directly on MB. Practically on top of M2 SSD.

I've run my M.2 SSD's completely covered by 3 gpus for years and have never had any problem.
On five different hosts, 3 5950X and 2 Epyc systems. Mostly Samsung 256GB drives but now have had a 512GB ADATA SX8200 in this daily driver for a couple of years now. Buried under three 2080 cards. No issues at all.
When I fire up the "Disks" utility it is reporting two extended partitions of 1 TB.
The HDD is a 1 TB drive.
I am pretty sure the boot log is reporting I am using the 2nd partition.
Anyone got a clue?

Don't know what you mean by extended partitions. You should have the main partition that the OS is mounted on at / and a small 512MB Boot/EFI partition that contains the bootloader for the drive.

Why don't you post a screenshot?
