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

You're spreading straight up false info here about Pop_OS. My kernel on Pop_OS is updated quite frequently and it supports my ~2 year old AMD card flawlessly. My current kernel version, 6.17.4, is about two weeks old...

    No, actually I am not. 2 year old AMD cards are not the latest.

    I tried to install PopOS for them first, however the LiveISO does not boot with a 9060 XT, because the PopOS kernel is quite old. If it was compatible with the latest AMD GPUs, they'd be running PopOS right now instead of CachyOS.

    Are you on the 24.04 Beta version of PopOS?

    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.

    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
