@killyourfm @thelinuxEXP @elementary tell me more what prevented the install. If this is a WD SN770/SN770M SSD on the device, you need to edit the kernel boot arg to have: nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 otherwise the OS won’t find the SSD to install nor boot from it (I’ve tested Fedora and PopOS!). A dive into why this is needed and it’s a buggy firmware that WD is using, and needs to be added as a quirk fix. There are plenty of different SSDs that have been patched but it affects quite a few.

@killyourfm @frameworkcomputer Framework 16, wise choice! I see WD_Black nvme SSDs. If you are gonna use Linux, you need to use this kernel param:

nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0

These WD_Black come with an outdated firmware. You can use nvme-cli to update the firmware on Linux but it's easier on Windows (they have an app...).

@killyourfm missed your articles! Welcome back!!!
