Are there any software issues I may/should deal with when doing a full system upgrade? I’m going from AM4 to AM5, so new CPU, motherboard and RAM.

It should be pretty straightforward under Linux, right? Just swap my drives over and boot up? I’ve only ever done single upgrades at a time, never a full generation.

    Moving from a 5600X to a 7900X3D, pretty big upgrade.

      I did the same thing last week on Fedora 40 with the latest kernel at the time. Everything went fine.

      Had to fiddle with bios settings to get the performance out of the cpu/memory

      Also worth noting there’s a delay in boot with no feedback on screen initially where the memory is tested/trained. That blank screen made me panic a bit
