Under the hood Manjaro 23.0 is running on the newly released Linux 6.5 kernel for providing the best possible hardware support and experience, which also means the likes of the AMD P-State driver is used by default on modern Ryzen systems. The Linux 6.1 LTS and Linux 5.15 LTS kernel options do remain available on Manjaro for those who need to stick to running an older kernel version.
