Yesterday I got my Asus um5606 laptop and naivly installed Arch. At first everything looked fine, but a few seconds after logging into Gnome, the laptop froze completly.
I then installed this package (linux-mainline-um5606) and also linux-firmware-amd-staging-um5606-git. But the laptop keeps freezing, now even faster.
What is the current (Dec 2024) status here? Should this be working? Should I try early versions of the 6.13 kernel?

!!! IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!
I will be deprecating this package upon the release of Linux 6.14rc1, as the only remaining patch for this series of laptops has been merged into Linux and is slated for release in 6.14rc1!

@VanKurt you might also need to do install/enable these services: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_Zenbook_UM5606#Power_management
P.S. it's normal/expected behavior for
linux-firmware-git
to includeamd-ucode-git
