I like Cachy. It runs on my AMD Framework 13. Arch runs on my desktop, and I have reached an equilibrium where it’s stable enough to for me to ignore the occasional crash or complete freeze up (which is audio related and rare enough that I just don’t care to try to fix atm).
Actually now that I think about it, I haven’t had a audio lockup since I swapped to using my video card’s audio. So maybe I have a defective audio chip on my motherboard. 🤷
I’ve never has freezes, but I fought my pipewire for a long time over chopped-up audio. I believe some kernel flag for real-time interrupt handling solved the issue at last, which I found on some audio forum after three evenings’ worth of tinkering and fiddling and eventually scouring the internet when I accepted I wouldn’t figure it out on my own. IDK if it’s of any use to you, but I can dig it out if you’d like.
Oh man thanks that would actually be delightful. Whenever you got time, I’d appreciate whatever fix helped. Even if it doesn’t solve the problem directly, it might put me on the right path.
I added threadirq to the launch options as described under “Using the threadirqs kernel option”, which solved it for me, but you’ll probably want to read the whole page anyway.
If you look closely at almost any large community, you’ll find both lovely and awful people and interactions. I try to be part of the former, but I confess that I sometimes fall in with the letter. I think that’s just human nature, but we tend to notice the negative more than the positive.

Despite the fact that I graduated 18 years ago. Thank you.
Glad to restore some memory of youth to you ;-)
Hope it helps, or is at least an interesting read
Sometimes the Linux community is pretty cool, love you guys.
