So, I wanted to continue to be a Mint guy (and a Linux user in general) and bought the latest and greatest AMD stuff because of their video drivers being baked into the kernel. I knew going in that the 7000 series (and DDR5?) would require kernel 6.2 or greater, and at the time of me getting said hardware, only rolling release distros such as Arch-based systems supported the kernel.

I love Mint and Cinnamon. I have been a fan for over 15 years, but, when I use Mint and install 6.2, my system will randomly go blank when a dialog window is up on some random program, or just plain lock up forcing me to do a hard reboot. Ubuntu and its flavors are now on the 6.2 kernel, but Mint is lagging far behind.

When do you think the Mint team will get a version out that officially supports 6.2? Should I just go with something like Kubuntu or openSUSE? I don't like Manjaro or Arch-based distros, they break too easy and have a level or tinkering I am not willing to do. I just want my PC to work. In fact, I have been slumming it on Windows 11 for now (I know, yuck, I feel dirty as hell) because it has been rock solid on my new hardware.
