Kinect and linux

I have recently switched from windows to linuxmint and i thought i would try connecting my kinect to use in a project development and intialy i thought it would be a pain because without microsoft assets i would probably face a lot of problems in connections because even in windows 10/11 i had issues with microsoft sdk kit but on linux mint it hardly took me 5 mins to connect it and it works very smoothly without missing out on anything

Kinect V2 keeps shutting off and turning back on

My Kinect v2 keeps rebooting in a loop.

It's hooked up using the official PC-Adapter via USB A 3.x (blue). Adapter' LED stays solid, so power brick seems fine. Kinect fully initializes (logo → IR lights → camera on), works for a few seconds, then shuts off and restarts. Video feed freezes exactly when it dies. There’s a noticeable humming/buzzing sound under load that stops instantly when it powers off (made extra loud in video for demo). When pushing the cable downward just exactly right, it also instantly dies, suggesting a fault at the fixed cable/connector.
