Kernel Issue with Dell 7567

Hi, I have a question. I have been a casual Linux user for years, however I have only actually gone ahead and installed Arch a couple times in the past. I recently bought a new laptop and it seems to be the case that any linux operating system running on top of anything more recent than 3.10 fails to boot. With Arch it didn't become apparent until after the first reboot, and I assumed it was an error on my end, however after failing to boot after reinstalling for the 12th time, I decided to go ahead and try to install a different operating system. Only the ones running on top of 3.10 still managed to work, anything more recent wouldn't even allow me to start the installation media. Does this mean my laptop is incompatible with the new Linux kernels or is there a fix/workaround? Thank you.

By the way.. specs:

Processor: Intel core i7-7700HQ
Graphics Card: nvidia 1050ti and Intel Graphics
RAM: 16Gb
Storage: 250Gb M2 SSD/ 1Tb HDD (The installation was done on the SSD each time, the HDD is just an storage drive, if that is relevant.)

Define "failed to boot"? Freezes after loading the intiramfs? Before? Screen goes black?

Moving to NC...

Freezes after initramfs

So you get a rescue shell, respectively can explicitly boot the rescue.target?

Arch Linux
