I have a System76 Gazelle 17in Laptop. I have installed EndeavorOS just fine but there is an issue where the touchpad does not work at all.
A few years ago I had this same issue and the only fix was to downgrade to Kernel 5.13.10 (and this still works right now) any dangers using this old kernel? Is there any fix known for this I’ve scoured the internet for answers.

security problem

if anything tries to use new kernel (eg most drivers) then it doesnt work

5.13.12 broke the touchpad, but 5.13.10 it works
Arco is the same story
System76 pop os works fine

It’s totally undetected in xorg or devices when I cat it higher kernel
