Thanks for Info. I've got two old acer notebooks that had windows 
7, and I upgraded to Fedora, but left the windows 7 on. So, noticed 
they had the Segment faults. So, wasn't sure if it was only an issue 
with setups with windows 7 or what. I have 5 other machines with 
Fedora only, and they don't get error messages. Don't have any 
other machines with Fedora and other versions of windows. Have 
two mini PCs, but they came with just windows 11, and have added 
Fedora to them yet.
