Hardware upgrade. Should I reinstall?
I'm chaging hardware and since its pretty much the most important parts, I am wondering if I need to reinstall Bazzite or do anything to my system before or after so it doesn't brake.
I don't know if it matters but I'm dual booting with windows with 2 separate SSDs.
I'm changing CPU, MOBO and RAM.
Current system
Intel i5 12400f
MSI PRO H610M-G
DDR4 16Ggb 3200
New system Ryzen 5 7600x Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX DDR5 32gn 6000 Same GPU RX 7700xt Side note - I'm a begginer user, I've been using daily Bazzite for 4-5 months with no problems at all and I love it, it just works. I only boot windows to play 1-2 games max and I don't miss windows at all.

Should be fine on the linux side. You'll need to reenroll the mok keys and that's it.
yeah as mentioned above
me
no won't need to be reinstalled
what will extremely likely need to be done secure boot disabled & keys re added to re enable secure boot
the purpose of secure boot is to make sure the boot process isn't tampered with which can be done by adding hardware
so the firmware generates an unique signature of sorts for current hardware
if that changes too much or probably at all secure boot will warn yoou & not allow you to boot a possibly compromised OS
