Me too, I finally saw it only $100 above MSRP and I caved since I was worried it would actually end up going up more due to uncertain tariff situation here.

I went back and double checked, I did get the AMD one but I got the one marked for old cards not the 9k series

I will double check this one. I had gone in on initial setup and not noticed updates needed but I will check again, good looking out.

Yeah boot and password screen look fine. I tried changing from accurate color to efficient color but that did not do anything for me. Now I am getting a message every 10 minutes or so pop up saying “UUPD Some system updates failed” but no specifics. I really appreciate everyone trying to help but it is looking more and more like a reinstall is going to be needed.

Yeah that did not seem to work using the rebase command I copied from Bazzites website for the version I need it gave me an error part way through

Looks like I will probably just have to do a reinstall with the proper one

What is rebase?

What is that, using a different operating system to try to boot? Is this just to check if the hardware itself is bad?

I think good and evil both are things you do more than things that you are.

I went with the default and apparently it was the right one because the drive popped up to mount and I was able to copy files to it. Thanks for the assistance though I appreciate it. Good to know for the future

I hope no one is typing a long response right now, I -think- I figured it out. It was KDE I wanted not dolphin and after fiddling about I -think- it should work now. It at least popped up as a drive
