From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any way to force the desktop to load regardless? I know, typing startx isn't hard, but I would like not to. Tnx!

I should have provided more details about my setup, but I was kinda hoping that it turns out to be trivial. I am on a desktop PC, AMD gpu, Mesa drivers, one 1440p monitor. Nothing special about the setup. I'll have a look at the URL you provided and try a few things tomorrow.

No probs! I checked all the F-keys and non have the session initialized. The logs say that SDDM segfaulted. That's the last message. I typed it out in the commend above if you want to take a look.
