Freezing issue on 6.17.4 CachyOS kernel version #68

Hello everyone.

I would like to share my experience with kernel version 6.17.4 on Fedora 43 KDE Plasma Desktop Edition. On my machine, this kernel version causes many applications to freeze, and in the worst-case scenario, plasmashell sometimes becomes unresponsive. Freezes and slowness occur while using the browser, and it feels very heavy. Can anyone explain what is wrong with this kernel version? Currently, I am locking the kernel version at 6.17.3 with grubby, and its performance is better than the newer version.

Thank you for explaining this to me.
