I purchased a brand new Huaweii X Mate Pro 2021 (not bad if you are interested) and after few hiccup (I couldn't manage to install Debian), I ended up to install Linux Mint.
Overall the process went fine (though I have a couple of errors during the boot that are disappearing too soon) and after having upgraded the kernel to the latest 5.11 there is nothing on the device that doesn't work with Mint 20.2
However, immediately after the initial splash screen, the screen shows the login screen but few seconds after this disappear like something else is loading. It then reappear and so on.
The only way to progress is to type in the password and press enter as soon as the password field is visible.
At that point everything seems to work normally. Even when the computer goes in stand-by and show again the login screen ... there are no more problems.
I wonder the if the problems at the beginning can be the cause? If so, how can I debug?
I have some decent user experience in the linux world, but not that much as a sys admin to pick this on my own.
