@jalefkowit this whole story describes very good why IT is such a trash fire. Even a current AMD Ryzen must be compatible with 30 year old technology that (hopefully) nobody uses anymore.
It is not turtles all the way down. It is compatibility all the way down.
The good thing about arm. It does not have the PC/Windows ecosystem. That’s why arm can sell aarch64-only chips. Because Windows ia64 failed and amd64 (with compatibility all the way down) succeed.
@jalefkowit besides these problems: good read. Liked it. Is it available as blog post (or similar)? I want to share with not-fediverse-user.
