The 6.12 kernel and above give AMD users a big boost, it's a shame some distro's are behind. LTS (long term support) is also aimed for server usage.
Now i don't say a rolling release is the best, it can break. But reading this forum, pop os on reddit and ubuntu forums LTS based distro's can break too. So in the end why stick with a LTS based system if the stuff can break in a "stable" "outdated" system ? I have endeavour os running on 2 of my systems, there is not a single update i miss and my systems runs very fast and stable!.
In the past I reported on the forum that kernel 6.8 was lagging the system alot. I installed the pop! os kernel (6.9.xxxx) to fix it. If i use Zorin os i expect a fix from the zorin team. But they keep relying on that old 6.8 kernel which most new users (gamers) can have issues with.

Kernel 6.8.x + nvidia drivers under 555 has lag issues alot in wayland. Upgrading to a higher kernel will fix it. My acer notebook runs the 570 driver with kernel 6.13.7 and wayland and really has not a single issue. Just saying, old software is not always good.
