Is it safe to install Manjaro now?

I installed Manjaro on a dual boot system a few days ago. I was just getting into it when the update happened. Couldn’t boot and it kept saying “Premature end of file /boot/vmlinuz-5.9-x86_64. You need to load the kernel first.” Looked on the internet for answers and nothing worked. Decided to boot into windows and remove Manjaro.

I would still like to play around with Manjaro, but should I hold off and wait for the developers to make sure the situation is under control? Or am I okay to go ahead and do a fresh install?

System info:
Ryzen 5 3500U
Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx

Always read #announcements posts before updating. We know nothing about your setup and why you had issues.

Feel free to try the new 20.2.1-210103-linux59 ISOs that were released today.

Sure looks like something went quite wrong.
Redownload current ISO from Manjaro - Downloads and try again.
