at least its a fast install...No luck. Update won't install (which is a good thing I suppose) and I can't get Firefox working at all... Maybe I'll try reinstalling windows for a third time.
I've been running stable for awhile, not sure why it would have an effect now and on only one program. Both standard and beta versions of firefox crash now. Edge works fine, wont use chrome... very very odd behavior.
Unfortunately I don't know the first thing about Linux. I'm thinking more and more that I have some failing hardware whether it's the cpu, MB, or nvme drive. Not sure how after a fresh install of windows I get consistent failure with Firefox. 100% when trying to go to YouTube, randomly upon opening and after a short time browsing somewhere like hardforum. I've had the nvidia context menu not appear once or twice on a fresh boot. Rebooting fixes this. And I've had either windows update or windows settings screen randomly disappear once or twice on the latest windows install. My only thoughts at this point are bad hardware or a corrupted windows usb drive. I downloaded and created the usb just a week or two ago to help a buddy build a new computer. Maybe somehow that usb got messed up. Going to try a different usb and redownload the media creation tool. If that doesn't fix it, then any ideas on which piece of hardware might be failing?Try running a live distro, like Ubuntu 21.04, to see if you have issues there or not.
You don't need to know anything, just burn the ISO to a USB stick and see if your computer works normally when you boot it from the USB. Linux has a desktop just like Windows. Mouse. Point. Click.Unfortunately I don't know the first thing about Linux. I'm thinking more and more that I have some failing hardware whether it's the cpu, MB, or nvme drive.

ok, going to try ubuntu today. Anything recommended to try out once I boot into Ubuntu? Does it come with a web browser that i can try out some websites and such? I am not sure what is causing the odd behavior in windows, so Im not sure how to duplicate it in Ubuntu. I guess if it is hardward related I will just notice odd behavior in Ubuntu?You don't need to know anything, just burn the ISO to a USB stick and see if your computer works normally when you boot it from the USB.

If you take the Kubuntu variant it will be just like Windows. Browsers, office apps etc. The regular Ubuntu uses Gnome desktop which will seem strange for someone used to Windows. Kubuntu will work more like Windows (menus etc). I recommend Etcher for burning the ISO on USB.ok, going to try ubuntu today. Anything recommended to try out once I boot into Ubuntu?

Fastboot is such a bad idea, especially with SSD media so cheap.
