If we were allowed to own guys? Well…used to be you could, I guess. I think you still can in some countries, Libya maybe still.

Not uhhh… exactly something I agree with you on, but go off I guess. I’d rather people use guns to prevent people from owning guys.

Ah that’d make sense, thanks! Idk why I can’t find the info anywhere online, it has to be in the fedora docs somewhere!

Edit: Ok 1 is definitely the login screen, just tried before login. 7? Remains to be seen but I bet you’re right, prob plymouth.

Ah so that’s why flashy line, am already logged in to KDE. I guess when I log in the system auto switches me from tty1 login to tty2 KDE? But then why does tty7 have the same flashy line, both can’t be login, can they?

Fucking thank you so much I’ve spent the last hour trying to find this out lmao, but I couldn’t find it by searching “what is fedora tty1” for some reason.

I tried tty2 (as all online advice says to try): nothing. So I tried tty3, and it worked! But then I tried to switch “back” to my GUI using tty7, blinking cursor. Fuck. Went back to 3, tried 2 and breathed a sigh of relief as I saw my GUI lmao, then tried them all. But then began the quest to learn why tty1 and tty7 are different.

So, tty1 is SDDM, can I ask what that is? I see:

SDDM is a modern graphical display manager aiming to be fast, simple and beautiful. It uses modern technologies like QtQuick, which in turn gives the designer the ability to create smooth, animated user interfaces.

But uuhhhh… what? I see no graphicals only the blinky cursor. And is tty7 that also?

Got it now! For some reason, the internet seems to think my GUI is on tty7, but it’s on tty2, and on tty1 I only get a blinking cursor, but on the rest (besides the GUI) I get the “sysname login:” prompt. I’m sure this is a fedora thing but I can’t find out why it switched, or why tty1 shows up different.

Explains why “switch to tty2” has never worked for me though, because I was already on it and I need to switch to 3!

Edit: okay comment below says tty1 is SDDM. What’s that? Idfk. It’s a “graphical display manager” but all I see is a lone blinky line that seems fairly ungraphical. Also, tty7 shows the same blinky line, also SDDM? The world may never know. man ssdm seems to indicate it’s a user called sddm, whom I need to add to the video group and then I’ll see… something? Maybe?

You limey buzztard!

Tbf I’d take a pic of the command, or failing that, write it down, before switching.

My issue is “am noob, how login? And how switch back?” Lol. This post made me realize I need to learn how to do that now before I’m faced with a situation where I have to, so that’s good!

Wait until they tell you about ctrl+r!

POO-5000 is my new favorite license plate.

Then shouldn’t it be g/m^2 ?

So do tri-nipped women have twins more often? Inquiring minds want to know!

Is it onestop.mid?

(The joke was: you mean “bait and switch.” “Bate” is short for “masturbate.”)

bate and switch

Is that when you use your left hand?

PKhex, I hope. As long as it’ll run it, PKhex needs not your GPU acceleration, it just gives me pokemon when I have nobody to trade with (or $999999999, change OT names, etc).

Although worst case scenario, it runs ok under wine, and for the trading I can actually use the Flipper 0, but not the OT names.

Some, and some will learn a better way. And the more the poor security starts to affect people, the more will either bite the bullet and upgrade, or switch. And switching becomes more likely if they know someone else in one of the above categories, too.

• People fed up with windows’ shit

• Privacy advocates

• [Coming Soon] People who can’t upgrade to 11 due to hardware who can’t afford a new PC.

You can save a bit by buying the RAM and SSD elsewhere (and not needing the expanded graphics helps lmao).

But yeah they’re still a bit much, however I appreciate the reparability, and now think every manufacturer should adopt the ports so I can goddamn choose to have my 3.5mm back when I need but swap it to an extra USB-C (or A, MicrosSD, SD, Display, eth, etc) when I don’t.

Manul.

Someone else said that some comments up.

The reply was “use ctrl+r.” And I just tested it.

Game changer. I learned today and so now I pass it on.
