+        ## ⚠️ Before You Submit
+
+        Most kernel build failures are caused by CachyOS not updating patches for the latest kernel version.
+
+        If this is the case, the only option is to wait for the CachyOS team to update the patches.
+
+        Please consider using the `release` branch as it contains the last successful build:
+
+        ```nix
+        {
+          inputs = {
+            nix-cachyos-kernel.url = "github:xddxdd/nix-cachyos-kernel/release";
+          }
+        }
+        ```
