We just saw on Hacker News today that AMD machines can't even boot and are having trouble getting their microcode updated. How is that a "huge advantage?"

Do you have a link to that?

Anecdotally, I'm using two Ryzen 3000 systems right now (a 3900X and a 3200U) and both are working just fine.

Thank you. That's less of a generic "can't even boot" issue and more of an incompatibility with installed software (wireguard) and the kernel workaround in recent linux versions for the microcode bug.
