Beware some issues if your hardware isnt popular, I have freezing on all kernels past 6.136-2, so I'm stuck there. (test them all every update, no matter what I get hella random freezing requiring a power button restart) It is very stable and fast tho, kinda scary thinking the bug never gets fixed tho, still new to Linux and assuming it's bad to not update the kernel longgerm.
I had that issue last time I switched to Linux. Thankfully eventually it went away. It should help to distro hop to a more bleeding edge distro. Fedora specifically gets system updates every night through Discover.
I'm on cachyos, thought arch was the most bleeding edge
Arch is above my skill level at the moment. If CachyOS is an Arch distro, it could be related to Arch configuration issues.
Nvidia?
