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.

It is the symptom, not the cause. Greed is the cause and it has been around a LOT longer than Capitalism.

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
