Slow Boot Time on Fedora KDE After Enabling Secure Boot - USB Device Denoscriptor Error

Hi everyone, I'm new to Linux and recently did a clean install of Fedora KDE (running kernel 6.15.8.200.fc42.x86\_64, also tested 6.14.0-63 with the same issue). After enabling Secure Boot to boot into Windows, I noticed a significant boot delay when returning to Fedora. During boot, I see three dots on the screen, and pressing ESC reveals a 45-second countdown with the following error:

USB 1-11: device denoscriptor read/64, error -110
[ *** ] Job systemd-udevd.service/stop running (34s / 45s): Shutting down

Once KDE loads, it takes a few seconds for my mouse and keyboard to become responsive.Additionally, I occasionally see this error (not sure if it's related or if it was present before):

amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: [drm] *error* EDID checksum invalid

Here are my USB devices (lsusb):

My motherboard is an Asus Strix X870-A Gaming, my graphics card is a Raden RX7900XTX and my CPU Ryzen 7 9800X3D (onboard Radeon gpu)

What I've tried so far:

* Switching between kernel versions (running 6.15.8 , tried 6.14.0-63).
* Turn off Aura in Bios (although still showing in lsusb command)
* Tried turn off secure boot
* update and upgrade Fedora
* unplug all usb devices (and change keyboard and usb port)

Could this be related to Secure Boot, a USB device issue, or something else?

Any suggestions to diagnose or fix the slow boot and USB error? I’d also appreciate tips on addressing the amdgpu EDID error if it’s relevant.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Is there any validity to the claim that the pending expiry date for a signing key will render Secure Boot unusable for many Linux distributions?

According to this article ("Linux users are about to face another major Microsoft Secure Boot issue"), the current "signing key supporting Secure Boot on Linux is about to expire," and this will prevent many Linux distributions from being able to boot with Secure Boot.

The article claims that older machines (essentially pre-2023 unless they've had relevant firmware updates) will need an OEM firmware upgrade, or that Linux users of such machines will need to manually add the relevant signing key to their BIOS, otherwise Secure Boot will need to be disabled.

I'm quite used to articles generating clickbait and fearmongering, but this looks as though it might have some truth behind it, albeit not actually scary.

What is the real story?

Linux Distribution for V-Server

Over the past five years, I have not dealt with Linux due to a lack of necessity. However, due to a new project and the purchase of a V-Server, this topic has become relevant again. The following should run on the server:

Email server Rocket Chat Cloud connection To-do system ERP/CRM system Plex Firewall

The provider offers the following distributions:

Alma Linux, Fedora, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu, Debian

I would be grateful for any good tips for a secure and easy-to-administer Linux distribution.

Thanks a lot in advance

Wanting to switch to linux

Hello Everyone
I am a Windows user, been using it for past 10-12 years, currently I am in college, and I wanted to try a new OS ( linux) I researched about it, went onto youtube
Learned about some of the benefits, have seen many distributions of it, like arch, ubuntu, fedora etc
There are loads of different distributions, and I have seen some videos, saying NO GUI is there on linux.
I code on my machine usually C++ and java or some Android dev stuff, and currently thinking about web3.

Now I have multiple questions-
Please Answer them

1) I am thinking of dual booting the linux os, as I have windows lifetime subnoscription so don't want to loose that, and just for switching between the them, is that good or will it affect my system performance (i5-12 HX) (16 GB) (1 TB SSD)??

2) Which distribution will be the best for me, personally I liked fedora because of its gui, but I want something on which I can learn more about the functions and stuff so which distribution to go for?

3) Should I part my SSD, before installing linux?

4) Which creator to watch, in order to understand the whole OS, from installation to everything?

5) will switch to fedora in the end, Idk when but I will, so is that good?

6) will battery life increase, as linux takes very less resource

6) and last just how to start, where to start?

What the are the benefits you all got from switching from win to linux, and what are the benefits you got?

TLDR:

1. Is dual booting Linux with Windows safe? Will it affect system performance?
2. Which Linux distribution is best for me if I want to learn deeply (I liked Fedora)?
3. Should I partition my SSD before installing Linux?
4. Which YouTube creators should I watch to learn Linux from installation to advanced use?
5. Is Fedora a good choice for long-term use?
6. Will battery life improve after switching to Linux?
7. How and where should I start my Linux journey?
8. What are the benefits of switching from Windows to Linux that others have experienced?


I will be very thankful for your response. :)

The state of intel's battlemage cards in August 2025

I'm on archlinux (kernel 6.15.9) and I have a arc b570 (with a Ryzen 5 3500X). And, I'm very happy with my system. I don't really get the infamous black artifacts in any of my games that so many others seemed to get on the battlemage series cards.

Plus, everything I play (enshrouded, genshin impact, red dead redemption 2, elden ring, kcd2) is giving me amazing performance, more than 60 fps on high settings (1080p), Coming from a gtx 1650 super, I'm literally blown away by how much better this graphics card is at such a good price point.

The fact that intel not only gave us such a budget friendly card but is also working on their driver support for linux is amazing. Do ya'll think intel can catch up to the two giants (amd and nvidia) in the gpu market? I hope they do at this rate.

Calibrating HDR possible?

Hi,

Ive got a great HDR monitor and i've been using it for gaming. Its an awesome miniled (Q27G3XMN).

Colour's looks very different to windows though. Im on KDE bazzite atm and I feel like there's a greenish tinge. Its very obvious when going from SDR (which is calibrated from windows) to HDR.

I havent been able to go deeper and improve/change it.

\- Can i calibrate colours? Or is there a way to override?
\- Is there an app to do it?

Thanks.
