    I upgraded my Intel system to AMD today. And I didn’t have to reinstall a damn thing, because my existing Linux installation Just Worked™. It really is to the point that I could never imagine going back to Windows.

      CPU vendors are usually pretty seamless to swap on Winblows, other than the fact that Windows will possibly whine that you’ve modified your system too much and need a new license 🤓

        I’ve encountered issues swapping a Windows install between machines equipped with an Intel processor to one equipped with a current AMD processor.

        In the meantime, my KDE Neon install has been swapped between four different PC’s now without a single issue.
