Maintainer has been absent for some time so kernel v6.11 and v6.12 isn’t supported OOTB, to get it to work with kernel v6.11 you need to pull the fix from: !48

If I remember correctly the default sudo timeout is set to 5 minutes on Yay, you should be able to increase it to something more reasonable

Additionally you can try and force use amdgpu rather than radeon, by setting the kernel flags:

radeon.cik_support=0 radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.dc=1

Device initalization failed according to the Xorg logs;

1. Dump your firmware version
2. Dump your kernel version
3. Dump your kernel logs (dmesg or journalctl -k)

No bios update, but you most likely received both microcode updates (which is what will fix/mitigate the Intel issue, the bios is only to ensure everybody gets the microcode update) and firmware updates (from linux-firmware)

Of course non-mainlined (i.e. not in the linux kernel) firmware is a bit more iffy, luckily it’s getting slowly better with OEMs using fwupd for those scenarios

Could it be an issue with the Nvidia drivers, boot with acpi=off and then install the (proprietary) nvidia drivers and then reboot to see if it boots normally now?

Archlinux’s XZ was compromised as well.
