Sscratch this -- problem solved by removing a joystick from my my USB slot.... no clue why, but if your games are crashing in linux, try running it without a controller connected... then plug in your controller once the game is running
NI used to have a significantly delayed boot on my desktop when I had a specific USB device plugged in. It wasn’t a storage drive, so I was really confused. Computers are funky sometimes
Dime quality of USB devices can very a ton.
MI had a Dell tower that would not boot with a particular USB hub plugged in. As in pressing the power button did nothing.
M(And before anyone makes fun of me for having Dell hardware, this was my machine at work.)
Ddells arent bad tbh
