Windows is getting worse, while gaming on Linux is getting better. I’m gonna move my desktop to CachyOS. Wish me luck.

You are wrong about the kernel. I'm not on the beta, I'm on a stable release I installed like 2 years ago and have updated many times since. The kernel is exactly what I just said.

Dunno what to tell you lol, maybe it is possible to update an already existing install to a newer kernel version, but the LiveISO hangs when booting on a 9060 XT, and "sorry, it is unsupported by the PopOS kernel" was a common/known issue when I searched for the solution. This was only a few weeks ago.

Maybe their live iso isn't as maintained?

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's my guess based on what you've said

It's interesting you say all this because as others have said in the past, pop os pulls upstream updates so often, some say it's practically rolling release at least for many important packages
