Yes, formatted it on Linux as well. The cards fine

Most of the time it looks fine minus the unexplained part where its set as read-only

I have an old Samsung Galaxy A3 (SMA300FU) that I upgraded to android 10 with an unofficial lineageOS ROM for android 10. Anyway, the entire experience has been fine, but it didn't resolve one of the main issues I had with the stock OS, this SD card issue. the SELinux policy is set to permissive & the SD card slot is fine, the SD card is a 32GB SONY card that has nothing wrong with it. The card mounts fine, but the system always mounts it as read-only & if you eject then mount it again, it will be marked as corrupted. if you format, the SD card will disappear from view of all apps, I can only see it in /storage/ with read/write perms. Any app on my phone refuses to acknowledge the card & if it sees it it wont read it. help please.

Here are some ADB shell outputs that might help diagnose the issue

What I mean by not detected is that the counter for free space at the bottom says 10MiB only. I want to tell the installer to go there for install

[-] Ezek@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

I know where sda6 is what I need is to tell the installer that specific partition is where I want to install fedora

[-] Ezek@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

sd6 is the free ext4 partition i wanted to install to that won't get detected. Fedora only detects 10 MiB free and if you check the partitiona in tge installer in the second image, it's under 'unknown' ratger than where I want as free space for some reason

On Lemmy? I've never seen this question posted before. Maybe sonething similar but there is a very low chance we're getting bots here

I use Fedora 40, with KDE spin since I'm not a fan of the GNOME UI. I actually have windows on a sperate SSD on standby just in case I need some program that won't work even on WINE. The user experience is much better than windows, no random bugs/inexplicable disconnection of USB devices, No ads, No random bloatware that can only be uninstalled through the terminal like edge, The right-click menu doesn't take 6 seconds to load for inexplicable reasons & it doesn't raise the temperature of my PC by 10C because I opened my web browser or VSC
