Manjaro updated to it this past weekend. It's been an utter nightmare. It's not distro specific. The errors and issues are across almost all distros. If your distro does not allow you to stay on a stable driver (Read: Most rolling distros, but not all), or if you're forced to brute force drivers for something older in, beware.

I'm actually switching to Mint as a result of this, because Arch and Manjaro are fucky about maintaining "old" drivers

Yeah, I don't build new towers often. My last system was over 10 years old and was a like 2nd gen intel i7.

My wife is on an AM4 since I built her system a while ago. I went for the Ryzen9 and AM5 since Ill just keep adding more ram or upgrading the GFX card on this tower for at least 8 years. She does a lot less with her system so it should hold out for about as long doing the same thing over time.

My 'old' systems get repurposed for the homelab if they are still in good working order. My old desktop I actually repurposed as a VR rig since it is good enough for that type of gaming still.
