I've bought various cards from GTX 970 up to my current RTX 3090 and never had any real issues. So I recommended an RTX 5060 to my wife's friend's kid (we've helped him build and upgrade a Linux computer over the last years) because it seemed like the best value he could get for his modest savings. After installing the card for him I spent hours trying to get it working... In the end I got it to boot and use the GPU in games, but the computer still hangs indefinitely if he tries to shut it down, so every time he has to hold the power button to turn it off. Since then I've got some suggestions for things to try from the Bazzite discord, so I hope it'll be possible to fix.
