Native version known issues:
- USB mouse/keyboard is only detected is connected during boot
- delay ~10 seconds when booting SATA disk
- nvme.device/SFS error in VirtualBox when installing
- possible NVME crash on some hardware, add 'NVME=disable' to grub command line as a workaround
- if you experience issues booting, try adding 'noacpi' or 'noioapic' to grub command line
