Did it go from Linux native to Proton only? Only reason I would think assuming headline is accurate.

Which is why the title was momentarily impressive. Was thinking some ‘in the lab’ demo cpu.

Up until the G in 8700G I totally thought ‘software renderer’ and was hella impressed. So yea, totally plausible it could have been described better.

So I was kinda in the same boat. Used to build a lot, had kids, built less. Finally decided I wanted an AM5. Everything seems good, but all my problems I have and currently have seem to stem from DDR5 ram. Expo seems to have issues sometimes, bios resets ram and takes a while to turn on. Not sure if bad sticks or bad MB, but works 99% of the time, so not overly concerned. Basically saying if you have issues, check ram and ram speeds first.

Edit: and bios. That has updates available often it seems.
