#Signet Saturday is off to a start, and I'm confirming parts of my hypothesis. Just confirmed that #Tails 5.17.1 has the same issue as #Qubes 4.2 with hidraw devices on my newest motherboard.

This is the second motherboard to have this issue, and they were different makes and models, so this seems to point to a software issue. The good news is that this is something for which I'm more likely to be able to find a fix or workaround.

Linux kernel seems to be the common thread, however, another Linux machine that I have still works fine with Signet, even though it's running a very recent kernel.

This makes me think that the problem is some kernel configuration option that is only enabled in security hardened systems. So this is the lead I will follow.
