I have a couple of 2012-era AMD-CPU'd boxes running the latest Debian 
(9.8+) and *'buntu variables (primarily Lubuntu).  You can configure 
your sources to pull legacy drivers easily in either ... which is 
definitely necessary if your mobo uses Realtek chips for comms / audio.  
I do not use, but am aware of similar legacy firmware packages for 
mousies and keyboards.  Maybe one of them will be appropriate for your 
setup.
