Funny that I see an article about CachyOS, i just installed it this morning because of some trouble with an RX 9060 XT that I couldn't get it to work with kubuntu. It just worked out of the box with CachyOS. I know it would probably have worked with other distro but still...

That is likely due to the RX9000 lineup needing the newer kernel for driver support. Kubuntu maybe didnt ship that 6.14 kernel at the time. Cachy is the best for new hardware because they have great tools for switching kernels and patching everything up to the bleeding edge. They make it easy to grab the latest kernel, mesa, nvidia driver or whatever you need for new hardware.
