@andrewth09 I bricked a monitor when I tried to fiddle with the graphics settings in Linux back in the late 90s (tried to get it to run on 1280*1024 - which was considered "hi resolution" back then). I had to buy a new monitor. Then installed Windows and only returned to Linux a long time after that.

@Doctor_Rex Do you have a thunderbolt device?

"It is a kernel regression problem, introduced in Kernel 6.8.8. Thunderbolt devices, not only external disks, are not correctly initialized."

@towerful Thanks. I was wondering why there was a "panic" mode for digital rights management in the kernel.
