As of updating to the lts 6.12.11-1-MANJARO kernel i started to notice a strange behaviour on boot, which is someone on fedora has posted pictures of
mod edit - removed screenshots
My pc boots but is stuck for a short bit on the blinking cursor screen.
I currently don’t know what is happening and would gladly provide more logs if needed
