So here’s temporary fix and one that Arch technically supports but the devs highly recommend against it. But I have used it in the past for a short time when KDE 6 first released and was buggy as hell on my system.

You can blacklist certain packages from updating by editing /etc/pacman.conf

You should see under [Options], IgnorePkg = It might be commented out or if it’s not there at all just add it manually.

So something like IgnorePkg = linux amdgpu

Then save and update like normal. Just don’t forget about it since the longer you leave it the more likely something will break.

You don’t NEED to update right away. Esp if it may affect your use. I go days, sometimes weeks before updating CachyOS.

Do you use amdgpu? Because of you didn’t specifically install and activate it, you’re likely running mesa, which is the better choice in most cases.
