I have been wanting to use Clear Linux as my main OS for a while now, but I keep running into issues. Perhaps my obscure hardware may be the source… One of the major issues is that my rear USB ports do not seem to be working properly in Clear. I have an AIO with two USB ports on the side and four on the rear. When Clear starts up, I cannot use the mouse and keyboard that would normally be plugged into the rear. The mouse’s light is on, so there is power. No devices plugged into the rear USB ports seem to be recognized.
I am on Clear Desktop version 30710

dmesg does not appear to show any changes when a device is plugged in or out in the rear ports.
Also, when plugged into the rear ports, the system will still boot, but devices plugged into the remaining free ports will not be seen either.
