    I mean it's a self imposed arbitrary release date long term support ubuntu users can wait and if they can't then they should probably consider an arch based option or ubuntu 24.10.

I'd try and ditch 1 of the kits and see how you go. otherwise you may be having the intel 14th gen issues (I'm not confident that the 'fix' is that effective for everyone)...
