Hi Crystal I install all except games, also xenodm starts for me - I can see login screen and I am able to login and start i3
What I am trying to achieve: I want to start, login using xenodm and start i3 autmaticaly. Reason why I am looking in this Xorg issue is when I start browser (chrome/firefox) or even neovim it takes aged to open, so that is why I think there is a lack of configuration -- karcio Mar 2, 2026, 15:49 by [email protected]: > On Mon, Mar 02, 2026 at 04:18:07PM +0100, [email protected] wrote: > >> Hi, new user here.
