Driver Crash Every New Update

Man why do every new driver update through adrenaline (not DDU), I encounter this? Why can't it just be simple as updating in the Adrenaline app, then done. I know it is easy to DDU, but if DDU is the only way to minimize driver crashing, then it is never intuitive and easy for the average users. I am lucky that I know how to do those DDU and shts, but what if it is a regular Joe out there? This is the reason why people keep saying AMD's driver is a broken mess. I know they are fantastic when you know what you are doing. AMD needs to reach out to Microsoft and fix this mess.

I have both AMD competitor's card and it doesn't happen most of the time when updating on their app. If it happens, it's like once or twice a year. On Radeon, basically every update. When you want to get marketshare, target the "common and average people" not the enthusiasts. Because enthusiasts only makes up the minority (like people in this sub), but the average joe makes up the world. You will never get any freakin marketshare if they have to understand DDU and fresh install even though they are simple to do.

PS. I am not targetting you RDNA users (coz I am myself), I am pertaining to AMD. I just dont know if anyone of you would get hurt just because.

I remember people recommending AMD, especially RDNA 2 era because of having higher VRAM and feature support that's backported to older gens. Nowadays, is it still worth getting AMD? Does it still hold on to its "Fine Wine 🍷" title from the community? Thanks.
