This, I tried some newer distros with Wayland and ended up going back to Debian Stable and X11 for gaming. Got Sunshine (for Moonlight handheld client streaming) working for in about a minute.

200+ models from 5 big device makers
Nearly 500 device models use them anyway.
Bleeping Computer reports 813 products from 10 vendors.
Checked the BIOS update file of a Gigabyte motherboard I have here (Z170X - Gaming 7):
DETECTED PKfail untrusted certificate
Issuer: CN=DO NOT TRUST - AMI Test PK
I always feel old when they're playing Ramones over the loudspeakers at the grocery store.
I had to put my wife's LG-made Google Nexus phone in the fridge to wirelessly back it up without it overheating.
Also got a free 65" Samsung TV because original owner couldn't stand its blue blotches.
Everyone, race to the bottom!
I maintain older hardware at work. We have a platform based on a Biostar motherboard with no USB3 ports, and it will not boot from any USB3 drive I've tried. Any USB2 drives work fine. Picky, picky! 🤷
Thanks for replying, everyone! This project is temporarily on hold; downloading and sha256sum-ming some different isos led me to discover that my main system has a RAM issue. 🤦
I just learned to not trust motherboards' automatic RAM voltage setting; only one of four sticks seems to be sensitive to the apparent undervoltage that it was running on.
Edit: I hope that whoever designed the style of RAM slot that has a latch on only one side stubs their toe every day for the rest of their life.
Try some non-Razer input devices. I've seen multiple systems act strangely because of them, although the usual problem is that the system won't POST with the offending device plugged in... Unplug, boot system, plug in, and it works fine (until it's time to reboot or power-cycle).
Right side, second button down?
It works for Ultimate Boot CD, which includes DBAN and a lot of other fun stuff.
I play with retro hardware and Ventoy has also worked for me with some weird old isos that even Rufus didn't work with (XP/Server 2003 multidisc from eXPerience that uses a Linux bootloader?)
