Hi, sorry for my english.
Im curently debating if i should switch to CachyOS.
The thing is, ive had working Arch install, but, after update to new kernel, my PC started to freeze in browsers, i didnt have the knowledge of changing the kernel back to where it worked, so i distro hopped to Ubuntu. Everything is mostly fine, but my integrated Bluetooth dont work, it does not even detect it, so im forced to use my BT dongle, which is kinda irritating.
So my question is, can installing CachyOS fix my issue with Bluetooth? Im pretty desperate now, i would like to stay on one distro, but its kinda hard lol.
Ive installed it on my old Thinkpad and figured, there is a Kernel Manager, which is a cool neat thing. I have MS-7E26 motherboard. Thanks for the replies.
Cachyos is arch, more than likely you will have the same problem here too. You should have tried the lts kernel with arch.
Yes, i know, its too late now.
But i dont know if should distro hop to Cachy and try that kernel, that worked for me the whole 5 months… it was the 6.10. or the LTS one, im really tempted
Basically, the linux kernel is not a unique part of a distro (though that is somewhat more true here perhaps than most) and should not be why one would wish to change distros. All distros are essentially the same under the top-dressing.
Whether it’s rolling or static (like Debian) release is more important. It may be more important if the distro supports (out of box) something you prefer (like GNOME, KDE, Hyprland, or perhaps Xmonad), but you can usually build your own there too. In almost all cases, all the tools are there (in each distro) to do almost anything you want. It depends on how much of a mechanic you are.
Unlikely, but you can check from the live environment.
can you provide with USB live Cacyos

im really clueless why this happened, my Bluetooth worked before normaly
Please try with an updated ISO version :). Latest ISO uses 6.12 kernel.
Omg i found the solution… i unplugged the PSU cable, waited 10 minutes and it works now, my mind is blown lol. I wouldnt figured this out on my own
Ok thank for your replies :]
I must think this out, wether to switch or not
