I’ve noticed that when 6.6.1 came out and it came time to reboot after it installed, I couldn’t boot into the OS anymore, it simply hangs on a black screen for about 10-15 minutes then reboots after selecting it. I’m currently on the LTS kernel which is 6.1.67-1-lts (64-bit) with no issues. I figured after updating to the latest one 6.6.6. things may be better but no. Each new kernel release, I test it with the same results.

CPU is CPU: quad core Intel Core i7-2600S (-MT MCP-) on Dell Optiplex 990 SFF PC with 16GB Ram in UEFI mode. Via either Grub or Systemd-boot. On one hand, I’m thinking that my computer’s time may have finally come up once the LTS moves to 6.6.1 but, until then, and I can procure a newer system, I’d like to see if anyone else has encountered such a thing.

    The new kernel update fucked up my wifi which in turn fucked up KDE and I couldn’t even use my terminal. Wish it wasn’t rushed, and just left alone until after new years tbh

      You still can access your terminal from other sessions using ctrl+alt+f1, f1 to f7, you should check cause usually session 1 and 7 are used by the desktop managers , but the others are free to login
