Oof, too real: on Arch running kernel 6.6.5, WiFi brought EVERYTHING to a screeching, unusable halt. Like I literally couldn’t get the system to stably shut down. So I made sure I had backups, figured I’d had a good run at the bleeding edge, and installed LMDE.
Kernel 6.1.64 (or in Debian parlance, “6.1.0-14-amd64”) was great. 6.1.66 (or “6.1.0-15-amd64”) backported the WiFi-hangs-EVERYTHING glitch. 6.1.67 (or presumedly once adopted, “6.1.0-16-amd64”) has been approved for Debian proposed-updates and fixes everything 6.6.6 did, but its urgency has been dropped from critical to medium. I’ll just be over here, either booting an old kernel or using another machine entirely.

It is called Debian stable for a reason, if you want frequent updates a.k.a rolling release try Debian unstable/sid.
