I broke my first kernel (lemmy.world)

I am on EndeavourOS and was running the core/linux kernel and used yay to update my kernel to probably 6.11.1arch along with some programs and Nvidia driver updates. After rebooting it went to the login screen but when hitting login it stayed at a black screen till it fell back to terminal without gui. In the grub submenu I tried fallback which had the same problem. Fortunately I had LTS installed, and it worked.

So now what do i do? I am sure there are many solutions to fixing it. But do they work all the same? I could delete core/linux in AKM and reinstall it, right?

I am a beginner in Linux and would like to learn from this.

Are you using Wayland? You need to set a couple module parameters if you haven't
