Hello, I recently installed Debian 12 on my pc, and it failed hard. So, when I start my pc it just is a blank screen and at the bottom left it says "9C" or "90" and if I pass that if i boot up into Debian it freezes and the same if I try to reinstall through my usb. On a VM i tried to install it and it worked but not on my pc.

PLEASE ANYONE HELP ME I CANT USE MY PC AND IM USING A CRAPPY LAPTOP

What is the spec of your PC? Just to see if there is any components screwing things up.

Flatrute I cant look at the specs but its an Amd cpu that does not support avx2 but avx and the hard drive is 250gb+. Thats all i got sorry but i bet it supports debian because ubuntu 22 worked (LOL).

Nah Debian usually has worse hardware supports compared to Ubuntu where the former has its kernel (which contains drivers) stayed as is (with bugfixes applied only) and the latter tries to backport drivers for newer hardwares into the kernel.

Should I use Debian 10 buster?

I would recommend Fedora for the best modern hardware support and no-frill defaults.

I looked it up and even thought fedora is not debain based, im going to use it.

Uh...Fedora is not related to Debian at all but they are among the nicest distribution you can install. It is the testing branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, what Linus Torvalds uses on his computer (and also my choice of OS to install on my spare Athlon PC for my sister).

I put fedora on my flash drive going to install it in the next hour or so

When booting into the fedora install flash drive it says "Timed out for waiting the udev queue being empty" is this bad?

EDIT: It just passed it (LOL)

So I have fedora on my pc but it randomly decided to disconnect my keyboard and mouse? How do I fix this? The same happened on ubuntu.

Something goes wrong with your USB controllers? Do you have any old PS/2 keyboards or mouses that you can plug into? I believe modern motherboards still have one of those ports for diagnosting the hardware.

Your Wi-Fi adapter must have Broadcom inside or something to have this bad of a connection...Can you upload pictures of your system for easier helping?

So it was USB sheganigan at play Anyway, maybe you should get a Wi-Fi card instead (or better, wire the Ethernet directly to your tower).
