a) Fedora 29 has very new kernels. In the last few weeks they rebased to 5.0 and 5.0 is supposed to have a lot of Ryzen fixes in it.

b) For me "Typical Current Idle" (plus mwait) was all that was required to fix the problem. I'm pretty sure kernel 5.0 makes it so mwait override is not needed.

We never used proprietary video driver and we both had the problem and fixed the problem. Same with EFI: we use just legacy mode. FS should not matter at all.
