Hit ESC during boot and watch the boot logs to see what’s hanging. Some systemd service is taking awhile and doesn’t have a sensible timeout. Probably network.

No shit


You sure it was showing the bootloader and not just kicking you back to your login screen?


Check your fans and run a temp monitor


I may not have my editors straight here, but isn’t this a mostly abandoned project that has a small user base anyway?
Just like all the rest, it’s a remotely operated pile of garbage that can’t do a damn thing.
Oh wait…they made it jog for some reason. Battery lasts for 20 minutes while walking, so jogging it’s going to get a few doors down and fall over.


Very first thing: see if the Nvidia driver is actually loading properly by running nvidia-smi and see what it says.
You may have the Nouveau driver loaded instead, which you can check with: lsmod | grep nouv
Disable Hardware Acceleration


Steam Deck runs Arch at its core. The distro has nothing to do with it.
How you have Steam installed might though. Do you have it installed via Flatpak by chance?


Labels/Tags are a product feature, not part of email standards. Meaning: it’s not a thing when looking at the raw mail server data.
Each product handles this in their own way, and the tool being used to export your mail from one host/product to another would be what is handling that, if at all. Gmail probably just uses folders because that is part of the structure a mail server would have.
I believe Proton’s import tools handles this correctly from Gmail using both labels as folders and preserving tags, but I believe Thunderbird just puts them in folders as is standard.
You can double check by looking at the raw data exported from any mail service. You could probably easily write a quick script to handle getting tag info and applying it yourself, though it could be quite slow.





Not really. If it was power efficient, MAYBE, but it’s not because it’s a super old chip AND a laptop. It’s a vampire device.
You can buy a 6W minipc for like $40 tat6would be more useful.


They aren’t even slow, to be honest. It’s like 2 guys at Valve kicking this stuff out, and if it was standard practice for the manufacturers to divulge the registers and such for their products there would a minimal amount of trial and error and getting things to work well enough to be included directly in the kernel.


Try disabling the power saving settings for the machine, and make sure your power profile is set to ‘performance’. See if that changes anything.
I am certain this is a power issue, but where it’s stemming from us difficult to tell without actually seeing the machine.
Would also be useful if you check your BIOS for voltage settings for your CPU/MEM, and your PCIE lanes.


You sure your PSU can handle this new card AND all your other components?
A good sign it can’t is if this only happens when your card is under a fair amount of utilization.


What in the world are you talking about? You’re not making any sense between comments.
Never had an issue. You may want to turn off all of the bells and whistles that cause it to spike CPU when idle though, that might help.
