I work on a project called Bazzite which uses Anaconda as the installer. We had a user report a strange issue with installing our project, and it appears anaconda will bail out on trying to install due to issues with non Unicode characters.

This behavior has also been recorded here: pyudev/pyudev#490

Protect against exceptions when getting properties from udev

We've seen online UnicodeDecodeErrors from pyudev, but let's just
catch all exceptions here and try to process the device anyway.

Ideally this would be fixed in pyudev, but the issue you linked is more than year old without any response so I guess it's not likely it will be fixed soon.

Most ideal would be a kernel patch to fix the UTF-16LE to 7-byte conversion. That's the reason why pyudev didn't bother fixing it.

The kernel patch provided however, was never merged. Seems like it was just never noticed by the kernel team. Maybe someone should revive patching the kernel bug.
