My AMD computer still runs great for what I use it for and will continue for a good several years. It's got a 6gb 1060 (that I'll probably upgrade a bit pretty soon), 32GB ddr4, and what magically won't officially run on w11: a ryzon 5 1600x I have OC'd to 4Ghz.

Once win 10 goes out (which no one kid themselves, it will 100% get a support extension) I'll mainly swap over to Linux and run 11 unofficially for the couple things I'd need it for.
