oh yeah I know it’s not normal. there was something about a “kernel error (bug)” and failing to interpret a BIOS symbol, and also ACPI errors that may or may not be related. the hardware is kinda old, it’s a z390 taichi motherboard. the 1st m.2 slot failed on me during the first installation attempt and I had to go to a backup so obv it’s not in the best shape. I figure I’ll worry about a clean (canonical free) distro when I can also be free of nvidia. for now It’s just bloodborne :3 time unless I gotta upgrade the card right away, 8gb VRAM is kinda rough.
