  • I think they got the nvidia driver accumulation thing straightened out. On Fedora 40, I had it automatically remove a bunch of older versions and now it only lists the 64 and 32 bit versions I expect it to.

    $ flatpak list | grep nvidia
    nvidia-550-76	org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-550-76		1.4	system
    nvidia-550-76	org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-550-76		1.4	system
    
    

    Edit: looks like it’s fixed by this.




  • Not quite the same issue, but similar in the sense that it was caused by a UEFI that didn’t conform to spec.

    I have an HP laptop that I installed Debian on, and it would never actually boot to grub even though I checked the boot entries several times over. You could open the settings and choose the boot entry manually, so it’s not like it was a problem with the OS or with grub. Turned out, this model was hard coded to only allow a boot entry named “Windows Boot Manager” to be loaded by default. I used efibootmgr to rename the debian entry and it booted into grub straight away.
