[Troubleshooting] System does not power off properly all the times

I am running Arch with KDE Plasma. Here's my fastfetch:

Sometimes, it does not power off properly, meaning I have a black screen with some messages, and it just stays on forever; until I hard shutdown with the power button. I have not understood why this happens; also because the error message is not the same all the time.

I join here the image with the last error: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qfp7evpa … 7fz0q&dl=0

I have also images of older errors if they can help. Note that I am using the LTS kernel because of this problem. It appears anyway, even with the regular kernel.

Re: [Troubleshooting] System does not power off properly all the times

Can you please give the output of the following command?

sudo journalctl -b-1 --no-pager

(This shows the systemd log from  your last boot)
Try updating, as I have found >1 issues like this that had been solved by updating the kernel. If a normal update doesn't work, try installing and using the non-LTS kernel (as it seems to have stopped appearing in kernel versions later than ~6.8.1 according to the link below).
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=290839
If you need help installing the non-LTS kernel, please email me (or leave a message on this thread), and I can help you out!
    Hope this helps,
