Error when trying to install Bazzite specifically

I get the following error message:

amd_pstate: failed to register with return -19

And there's more but then the screen turns into a creepy pasta gif looking thing of white and green shifting blocks, except for a few random letters.

But the issue doesn't happen when I used a Garuda xfce I had laying around I used for an older PC (that was maybe too old for Bazzite?). That went into the installer and live iso environment without issues.

It's a newish build I'm making for someone as a gift with the following hardware:

Asus Prime B550M-K AM4 microATX Kingston FURY Beast DDR4 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen 5 4500 AM4

And a used Nvidia RTX 3060ti.

I have secure boot off I think (the Asus EZ bios is weird)

Update

I managed to install it using the text installer, but now it does this:

Then blank screen. Ctrl-Alt-F2 gives me a terminal at least and I did just get-logs which gives me the following:

Is this a Wayland issue?

Update 2:

Not a Wayland issue. But tried installing Fedora Kiinoite to rebase it to Bazzite, but Fedora has the same issue Bazzite did when trying to install, only it doesn't mention the Elf 19 error, and it frezzes allowing me to take a picture:

I really love Bazzite and run it on my own computer, but I'm starting to think it doesn't really run on older desktop hardware.

Which of the three is best for someone who wants things extremely simple but secure? From what I can tell CasaOS is the simplest, but Cosmos is the most secure, and I think Yunohost falls in the middle?

Edit: I just realized I didn't specify which Switches were Nintendo ones. I'm sorry.

Currently I live in an apartment with multiple access ports (2 of them in use), and I have them all running through a network switch.

Line 2 is connected to a wifi router which is connected to a second network switch which has a steam deck and 2 old Nintendo Switches™ connected.

Line 3 is connected to a small modem which is connected to a desktop PC.

I want to make a home server soon that also runs Home Assistant, so surely there must be a better setup to have everything actually be in the same network right? If I need any additional hardware let me know.

I can replace the wifi router with one that will actually have more than 2 LAN ports as well if needed.

I'm looking to set up a little home server for media, home assistant/matter support, and file storage/access.

I'm considering either:

GMKtec NucBox G9

Or

Zima Board 2 1664

I want something that's easy to use. Zima seems ready to plug and go almost, which is the huge plus, but the huge down side for me is cost - not only does it cost more, but I'd have to pay an additional 25.5% VAT on top to ship to Finland.

The GMKtec comes with Ubuntu at least (I'll be deleting Win11), but I don't know how Linux support for it is outside of Ubuntu. I'd prefer something easier to run like CasaOS or Yunohost (not sure which is more beginner friendly). Also don't know if those run Waydroid, since I'm pretty sure Ubuntu does (want to use S-tube on TV).

What do y'all recommend?

It should be "Treat others the way they treat others".

But they don't hunt demons I think

It almost feels like spam at this point 😅

In inspiration of the other post, what's your greatest nerf (as in, how are you really good at something but have something that balances you out). So you have to include the good too.

For example, In my case, I'm pretty strong, tall, high stamina, really good cold resistance.

But I have kidney failure and a transplant which means I need to take immunosuppressants every day or I can end up hospitalized, and also therefore more prone to sickness. And of course a weak point where the kidney is.

Ocean acidification tipping point, climate change tipping point, rose of wars and fascism, microplastocs - these are just facts of things that are happening. I feel like doom scrolling would be an exaggeration of things that are happening or will happen, not just reading about reality.

For those who don't know, a Monkey Paw Wish is when you get your wish granted, but in an unexpected usually negative way.

Example:

1. I wish human caused global warming would stop.
2. It does, but because WW3 leads to Nuclear Winter.

The question here though, is what wish would you be willing to take even though it'll get monkey paw'd?

So basically you don't care if the consequences, or would be willing to take the sacrifice for it.

Others can come up with the negative scenarios if they want and the original wisher can decide if it's still worth it
