I've been experimenting with the HM50 from minisform I found on Ebay about a month ago. The PC was never used, just left in an open box. I removed the preinstalled SSD with Windows 10 and replaced it with a 500GB Samsung EVO NVMe SSD running Linux Mint from my UM350. Everything seemed fine until my keyboard stopped working. I moved it from the rear USB to the front USB, and there were no problems. The same happened with my mouse. It looks like the rear USB ports fail after about ten minutes. I turned off USB legacy support in BIOS, assuming that was the cause, but it still keeps happening. Then I switched to Manjaro instead of Mint, expecting the change to help, but again, the rear ports stopped working. What might be going on? While checking BIOS, the issue didn’t appear, so it probably has something to do with software. The `lsusb` command shows that my Logitech keyboard and mouse drivers are loaded and functioning correctly. Any advice would be appreciated.
