Installed POP OS. Connect the Nintendo switch to my laptop using MTP. Double click the file folder. Crashes.
Decide to just reset to see if it would fix it. The laptop loops at the authentication screen infinitely. Used a PC to transfer files instead.
Reformat and install Fedora Workstation since Lenovo ships with it. Installed Anydesk and Rustdesk and Wayland is extremely laggy and the hot keys do not transfer to the remote computer.
That combination of errors sounds suspiciously like hardware problems.
MTP crash, unexpected but not overly so, it’s old code. Authentication issues post reboot on error is super sus.
Wayland can be a little slow, but it seems to be ok for all of my ancient candidates. Keymaps kind of expected, that’s the kind of stuff that wayland is actually not great at yet.
Put that all together, I’d say you have something going on with the box.
I love how every comment tells you to use a different distro lol. Don’t you guys see problem? You cant ask people to change their distro for every issue they stumble upon.
And everyone telling dear reader to change distros is doing it from a position of ignorance.
Even the least reliable of those distros should not be seeing anything but the keymap issue. MTP crash, unable to login afterward, That reeks of ram/disk issues.
Fedora has built in rdp server. That’s what I use.
Laggy? Ya dude that’s for office work, don’t push more than 1080p, yes it’s still gonna be inperfect

I think my next step is to install an xorg OS.
