Iptables. Because in the end its iptables, so I learned it from the beginning „the right way“ and i am therefore not locked into one or another

Nah, I run my updates maybe once a week on average. If afterwards something breaks, I simply do a complete Rollback (with e. g. snapshots). If after the next update its still broken, then I start to dig in „what“ is broken and how I might fix it

But as I said, it didn‘t happen to me yet - but I‘m also fairly new to Arch as well, so that‘s at least my plan on how I would go after it.

Rolling release 🤷🏻‍♂️ there might be updates which cause issues where you might need to rollback, if you can handle that it shouldn‘t be a problem.

I‘m using Arch myself since about 2 months and never happened that an update break something for me - when something broke it was my own fault.

Awesome! Will look to register tonight or tomorrow, when I find the time. Thanks for letting me know :)

Ok. I think Im gonna test it out aswell once migration is done

So the migration to mbin is done or just wanted to fix that first anyways? ^^

Its working since months, so I guess you have the drivers installed. For me I needed the „wayland-protocols“ package to work on my RTX3070
And the obvious once others have pointed out, the kernel parameters

@darth
did test that as well, but didn’t help as the kernel didn’t boot up at all.
In the end, after also trying to reach out to ASUS Support (and ofc without any proper solution from their side), I did replace my custom built, noname, (trash) motherboard and now it works flawless.

So, I think it was something with the ACPI/DSDT Tables f’d up on the old MoBo and ASUS just couldn’t (or didn’t want to) fix that…

ok took me 3 days to test, apologies :D
but unfortunately, no, doesn’t work. Even the “old” iso stucks at the exact same position with the exact same behavior :(

got some news. I don’t think, that it might change something, but who knows.
I added in grub the option “insmod progress” (which I found by googling somewhere). It should show, if kernel and initrd do load or not and now I can see, that the vmlinuz and initrd are loading to 100% and after that it hangs. So it looks like the kernel loads but then stucks.
As said before, I don’t think that this might change something in regards to further tests with my actual mobo, but I didn’t want to left that out …

Oh I absolutely can relate haha
Maybe one day I‘ll be here asking dumb questions again, watch out 😁

Alright, no worries! You invested so much time and effort trying to help me out, I can‘t thank you enough for that, really really appreciate it much!

Yeah I already got one in mind and looked it up on linux-hardware.org - any other option I‘d have to make sure the next one is alright? (Besides socket and compatibility with my other hw)

Wow thank you so much for keeping up on it!

I tried the earlyprintk options, but unfortunately none of them did work. Neither did the orher acpi options show up something, I do still have the exact same behaviour :(

I will work through the troubleshoot link you pasted, thank you as well for that.

Appreciate your help, I guess I‘ll start thinking about replacing the mobo

No worries, at least you tried and I‘m grateful for it.

One last thing: so you would also go for mobo replacement? In my opinion its uefi/bios and a new mobo should help, but I like having more opinions…

Thank you again for trying

yeah, that’s the reason I am so desperate … I understand, so maybe about time to look around for a new mobo?
anyways, I wanted to thank you very much for your time and effort in figuring out and trying to help me, I really do appreciate it very much!

as you can see, absolutely nothing happens or shows up. (still uploading rn, should be available shortly)

yeah, already played around with VirtualBox and WSL, but there are use-cases (e.g. in gaming) where just an emulation can’t really show what’s possible and what not, that’s why I would love to have the dualboot, so I can reliably test everything without any excuses like “runs probably bad because of emulation”

appreciate it, thank you

Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m not complaining at all, in contrary, I am enormous grateful for any help I get.
I posted alread in reddit as well - subreddits r/Nobara, r/linux4noobs and r/linuxquestions
Asus-Linux has a thready-like area in their discord „general-issues“, where I made the thread…

At first it is to learn how everything behaves, test my use-cases to see, if linux could become an all-dayer for me - that would be the main goal - until then the dual-boot to have a fallback option.
