Looks quite useful. I’ll check it out. Thanks

I enabled it, but it didn’t seem to work. I tried loading the EOS Galileo ISO, and it froze on me again. I tried to enter the sequence of keys and nothing happened. Had to manually shut off again. I feel something inside me die every time I do this, lol. It’s probably my keyboard that doesn’t have the SysReq key shared with the PrtSc key.

Your suspicions were correct. Somehow, the SSD progressively got worse yesterday to where it’s now entirely unusable. I tried for testing’s sake to install just Arch and it’s the same issue. SSD is fried!

I ordered a new one and have to wait until Wednesday. This time I didn’t buy Samsung and instead went with a brand that’s new to me called ‘SK Hynix’. This is why I have two monitors side by side, with one using Debian and the other using Arch. No downtime :grimacing:
