enough to try a new fresh install to see what happens if you don't
boot into Gnome.
When it works it's great - and it does work for some of us. I have no
problems on a 5-year-old F9 workstation, a 3-year-old laptop and a 1-month-old

It's just another thing in linux development that highlights problems that
always existed, but no-one was aware of because that function wasn't used in
the past. At least, that's my understanding.
