Because there are some tools I need to use that are not currently compatible with kernel version 6.1. However, they do work with kernel version 5.15.
The kernel tends to be one of the easiest programs to keep at a specific version and there is a linux-lts515 package in AUR.
You would be running a normal archlinux system, but be responsible for building and upgrading the kernel yourself .
However, running an outdated system or, worse, having it exposed to network is asking for trouble. So be sure to not use this installation for anything important and only offline. You may setup such a separate Arch in a virtual machine, if needed. Absolutely not suitable as the primary system.
