I just recently upgraded from LGA 1151 to LGA 1200, getting a new CPU and GPU (same make). I was quickly able to boot through grub using my installer flash drive and I was expecting it to not boot or be otherwise broken. I don't know if it's just the linux kernel being amazing or garuda itself, but everything just worked.
Literally no change needed aside from restoring grub. I hope I'm not spamming, just wanted to gush.
That's nice. What is inxi -Fza ? We would like to know more about your Hardware, so that people buying new hardware in near future can see which hardware is working fine.

Can't seem to get the formatting to look pretty, haha
I just wanted to add to this thread. Moving the install to new hardware was painless, but installing fresh on the new hardware isn't. I, in my infinite wisdom, did not make a backup before attempting to move/resize partitions. Well, fs got nuked because it failed during moving.
Live USB would not boot on nvidia proprietary drivers, it would get stuck on "Deactivate Plymouth Boot screen." Booting on open source drivers would work, so I reinstalled using them, hoping the installer would still install proprietary.
It didn't, and down a rabbit hole I went. On attempting to update my system (and this is last night, 9/14,) two packages kept halting my update; rare-git and lxc-git.
rare-git simply timed out, failing to download.
lxc-git had a bad PGP signature.
I tried changing mirrors, rebuilding pacman-keys, everything and they still presented an issue. So...
sudo pacman -Syyu --ignore=rare-git,lxc-git
System updated ok, and on reboot, I was able to use the autoinstaller to install proprietary drivers. Cool! On reboot, I could not get past "loading initial ramdisk."
Fortunately these forums are amazing, as I found the fix on them.
From where I was stuck I could ctrl+alt+f3 and login to:
sudo pacman -Syu linux linux_headers --ignore=rare-git,lxc-git
sudo dkms autoinstall
Reboot and bingo! I'm back to gaming. I'd like to add that as of this morning I was able to install those two problem packages. Looks like they got resolved.

Nicely done.
