From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You could look into endeavour OS. It's arch-based, but closer to plain arch than manjaro. It should let you choose which kernel version to use. Another option might be garuda linux. It's a arch-based gaming-focused distro. So it should be flexible as well, but it did break frequently on my system back when I tried it out. Otherwise Alma Linux (Red Hat based) might be running older kernel versions as well.
