We present a procedure for finding the exact solution to the linear-response Boltzmann equation for two-dimensional anisotropic systems and demonstrate it on examples of non-crystalline anisotropic magnetoresistance in a system with spin-orbit interaction. We show that two decoupled integral equations must be solved in order to find the non-equilibrium distribution function up to linear order in the applied electric field. The examples are all based on the Rashba system with charged magnetic scatterers, a system where the non-equilibrium distribution function and anisotropic magnetoresistance can be evaluated analytically. Exact results are compared to earlier widely-used approximative approaches. We find circumstances under which approximative approaches may become unreliable even on a qualitative level.
