Good deal either way.
Sadly there is no driver for the video component on Ubuntu LTS Jammy Jellyfish right now, which SHOULD be among THE most supported Linux variants right now.

Also, if you want the best support for new hardware, switch to Arch/Manjaro. Or even Fedora. Ubuntu lags behind about every distro besides Debian with regards to kernel and hardware support.
I was going for the 7800X3D for $450, but I figured by the time the reviews are in and assuming the demand won't wipe out the supply (ha), plus the alleged undershipping, I was probably looking at May or later to get one.
So instead, I bought the 7700X yesterday for $298 ($150 less) to go with my new build which includes a RTX 4080 FE.
I highly doubt that I will be losing any performance by going with a 7700X vs. 7800X3D since I game exclusively in 4K thereby eliminating any CPU bottleneck.
I mean, it's a $150 difference in price and it's available right now!

I talked about this on a Slashdot thread, and a lead Debian developer replied to me basically saying "if you don't want your stuff to break don't do ANY updates, even security."
That's when I went distro hunting. Spent some time using BSD, Kubuntu - too much GTK instead of QT, Netrunner, was very nice but flighty and became Maui, which in turn had an identity crisis, finally found KDE Neon. It's basically what Kubuntu should be. I find it easier to tell people I use Ubuntu since it's basically that with a nice KDE apt repository attached.
I'm not a fan of rolling release distros, so Arch is out. I spend too much time fixing rolling releases. Manjaro I know little about, at my age and experience level I'm more interested in using something than learning something. I got burned out RPM distros years ago, having started on Redhat and moving to SuSE. The RPM databases going corrupt for no damned reason all the time and the mainline distro having dependencies NOT in the repos (SuSE) drove me to Debian which started the chain above....
what cpu do u have

Ubuntu not having the drivers isn't Ubuntu lagging.
Ubuntu - even in the LTS form - updated beyond the closed-source drivers AMD is providing. It's not Ubuntu that's lagging in this case, it's AMD's inability to keep up. The open-source parts of the drivers are very much available to me - it's their closed-source portions that aren't. That's not the Ubuntu guys failing to deliver.
Also, over the years I've declared Radeon to be the world of driver hell for GPUs. My last job I had to screw around with versions all the time, even on Windows system. No, the new version doesn't properly support audio over HDMI, gonna have to go with an older one....
Say what?
That being said I've been giving AMD GPUs a go in the modern day. I was given a Piledriver era APU system and was rather happy with what it could do as a desktop - an A6 - not as a gaming system really, but as a standard desktop it didn't have the issues I expect from Intel built in video (which is much improved these days). Then during the GPU drought I built a Ryzen 5 system with the built in graphics and I my kids could 3D game all day on it. I couldn't crank it up to 4K or anything, but those Lego games my kids like looked great on it, and so did my "2.5D" games.
Nvidia, despite being stingier on source code and their stupid vGPU license thing, at least always seemed to provide good, solid drivers that work on every card they made in the past five years and made good solid drivers for their older cards as well. It didn't matter what OS you were running.
Also, I'm so deep into the geek world your "any CPU" statement doesn't work with me. Those last Athlon FX CPU's like I had were pretty good performers overall, and when you say "any CPU" my mind goes to all sorts of stuff since I deal with embedded systems at work all day. Let's stick with "any desktop CPU", and even then some of the super low power budget stuff might have trouble keeping up with an Athlon FX. I'm talking the low end modern Celeron stuff. The FX-4300 like I was running is certainly dated now, but often the high-end old stuff will still outperform low end new stuff. I would probably still rather run that than most modern Celerons.

Add to that the newer platform with commitment from AMD through at least 2025, and as you said, you have a long upgrade path ahead of you.
At least those were my reasons for going AM5 with my current build rather than saving $100-200 by going equivalent Intel performance level.

If you're super into the .deb world though, give Pop_OS! a try. System76 are doing great things with it, and it has pretty stellar hardware support.
