I've set up a serial console by adding the following to my kernel
command line:
console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty1
It works fine for the first few seconds as the kernel starts up. All
of the expected messages are sent out ttyS0.
But, soon after init starts, the serial console stops working.

Meld just updated from 3.20.4 to 3.22.0 (I have ~amd64 set for meld),
and now meld uses client side decorations instead of allowing the
window manager to handle that stuff. This is extremely annoying, since

What's the easiest way to get a remote desktop working for a Gentoo
server with a Windows 10 client machine?
A lot of sources recommend xrdb since Windows comes with a native RDP

one in an overlay.
VNC would probably be OK, but

I just did my usual
emerge --sync
emerge -auvND world
Everything seemed to be fine (IIRC, it upgraded chrome).
emerge --depeclean --ask
