(In case you use mpv, add hwdec=off to your ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf. In Kodi you'll find it in Settings->System->Video in Expert mode. Firefox: media.hardware-video-decoding.enabled in about:config.)

My problem is it most frequently happens on low system loads. Firefox never crashed the computer for me playing youtube. The computer mainly freezes when i leave it for a few minutes without something beefy like video playback or video games playing in the background, or when i read the news online.
It is not exactly frequent either, sometimes i go a week or two without it appearing.

Most people who buy Navi gpus don't care about what kind of drivers it has for linux, 90% of the world runs on Windows so less linux buyers wouldn't impact their sales very much.

Black Friday is just around the corner and a couple of months back I had the intention of buying a new computer. But there isn't exactly much point forking out maybe ~1500 EUR/USD/equivalent for a shining new computer that doesn't work. Have to say I'm very disappointed in AMD over this issue :(

For the most part, the situation is good now (only some minor annoyances remain, nothing breaking). Random desktop hangs are gone.
One important patch is still pending to land upstream and I hope it will get into 5.4.1: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/341008/
In a few weeks, Mesa 19.3 with llvm10 should come out, which will make things very stable out of the box. So I'd say you can already get a Navi card for gaming while it's now on sale.

Unfortunately none of the hardware I looked at is on sale, but I'll see on Friday what happens then, and decide whether I buy or not. Leaning towards no, but we shall see. At this point I may as well wait until the next AMD card comes out. Although if that one too takes 6-9 months to become stable, it's kinda pointless :-/

I'm browsing Amazon for some Nvidia deal right now, hopefully I'll be able to dump this pos 5700XT to some of my Windows friends...

And don't be dramatic about it. Nvidia is from far from perfect either. You simply exchange it to different type of issues.
