6th gen intel and 1st gen ryzen run perfectly fucking fine still.
CPUs from around 2005 onward are all perfectly usable IMO for the purposes of x86 desktops. As long as it's got x86_64, SSE4 and at least two available threads. I would even wager that Pentium 4 hyperthreaded models (Wolfdale?) are still acceptable if we're really pushing it.
My parents are using a 3rd gen i7 and it works fine. My brother has a few computers, one is a 2nd gen intel, but I think he put Linux on that one. My home server was running on my 4th gen i7 until I upgraded it to my second gen Ryzen earlier this year after I upgraded my gaming.
