Sorry for the delayed response; I missed setting up email alerts. Regarding the SSD, I’d like to examine it, but there are some unusual security settings I don’t possess, and I don’t want to risk further complications. It was quite hot outside, which makes a shorting issue a likely reason for failure. Reformatting would be nearly impossible since I can’t boot into another drive while it’s connected, and it doesn’t appear at all when hotplugged. Only the terminal showed up with dmesg | grep -i ata, identifying the name, failing SATA negotiations, and disabling the kernel. Before installing Nobara, I tested several distros, and Mint Cinnamon seemed to mount it automatically, which might explain the check disk startup warnings. This could have been quite a coincidence. Disappointing. Recently, Linux was really challenging—trying many distros, mainly because none could handle refresh rates above 60 Hz on full screen without resetting to 50 Hz, causing a CRT-like flicker. Nobara was the first to break. Now it keeps introducing bugs after bug after bug, with simple tasks failing or breaking. I’m exhausted from all this troubleshooting. I’d rather use my PC without constantly fixing it. Windows 10 repeatedly removed my AMD graphics drivers without explanation, so I upgraded to Windows 11. That version turned out bloated and poorly written, causing crashes and performance issues. But Linux is 100 times more unstable. I was worried about Windows 11 after SSD reports of controller failures, but now I feel stuck—no matter how bad the updates get, I’m forced to revert to Windows 11.
