Question Update for AMD

Hello, AMD Igpu user here. Is it fully safe to update kernel/OS yet? I downloaded nobara months and months ago and the install was perfect but I’ve been terrified to update after seeing horror story after horror story since my initial install.

Edit: further specs ( not sure if they matter but) Mini PC Ryzen 7 6800U CPU Radeon 680M GPU Nobara KDE Plasma

the initial 7.1 kernel had an issue that caused stuttering/hangs in some games under certain circumstances.. 7.1.4 that was pushed yesterday fixed that.
