New OS, who dis?

After a hardware upgrade, I installed Ubuntu 24 to dual boot with Windows. On startup, I noticed that the terminal would not imediately start. Chrome would immediately start, but network connections would hang. This eventually resolves within a minute or so, but this is completely unacceptable.

Courtesy of this Reddit comment / stackoverflow post: 

sudo apt remove xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

was the solution.

Looking at journalctl prior to running the above remove command:

Mar 23 10:12:23 knowles-AMD systemd[2981]: Started xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.service - Portal service (GTK/GNOME implementation).
...
Mar 23 10:13:03 knowles-AMD systemd[2981]: xdg-desktop-portal.service: start operation timed out. Terminating.
Mar 23 10:13:03 knowles-AMD systemd[2981]: xdg-desktop-portal.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.
Mar 23 10:13:03 knowles-AMD systemd[2981]: Failed to start xdg-desktop-portal.service - Portal service.

No side effects or issues thus far. Only remove the one package, do not remove anything that stems from it dependency wise.
