I haven't been keeping up so I don't know what Intel's current socket 
selections are but he claims AM5 is more future-proof. AM4 lasted almost 
10 years and you can still get processors. LGA 1200 was quickly followed 
by LGA 1700 and now LGA 1851.  

My Intel box has a LGA 1150, which had a pretty good run. It was followed 
by LGA 1151. I'm curious what the extra pin was for.

I keep looking at the Antec case under the bench and thinking I should do 
a build. but it's huge with those big drive bays that would need to be 
adapted down. It was designed for a ATX mobo but I never did use all the 
slots. A microATX would do.

Then I'd have another box and could install the vastly superior Mint 
Linux. Only fooling -- I'd probably go for Leap.
