Using an unsupported kernel enhanced my experience so much

So today after spending 1 hour compiling gcc-14, failing horribly, and then installing the ubuntu gcc package, i've installed Linux 6.12.22 on my Linux Mint laptop just to try it out despite being very discouraged by Canonical and i'm pleasantly surprised. The laptop seems snappier in general and also got a graphics performance boost too, most importantly, it fixed an issue with the touchpad that i've had since i installed Mint that neither 6.8 nor 6.11 fixed.

For now it seems to be working so well, hopefully it won't introduce issues :)
