Greetings everyone.
On or about April 4th, 2024 I updated my system to the newest lts kernel, since April 6th my system has been having issues (X hard locks, caps lock led turns on). I can recover the following error from my logs repeated many times:

I'm wondering if this is a kernel issue or my hardware is failing suddenly.
Just in case, here's the output of inxi -GSC -xx

Thank you everyone for your patience. I'm thinking of downgrading to kernel 6.6.22 and see if the issue disappears. In the meantime I wanted to post here to see if someone is having similar issues.
