Good day. I hear this is a good community, and I am definitely very pleased with seeing how well-put-together this distro seems to be, so I’m grateful to the people behind the project. However, I am personally very frustrated with the installer and will not attempt installing this distro or any Lin…

It reminds me of this issue some Budgie users have reported after the latest update to mutter. [image] Budgie not starting correctly Budgie Sadly no solution. Even the new mutter version 48.0-4 does not help. For the moment i stay with an older version. With that I can a…

Sad to hear you had a bad experience! And no, that’s not what users will get after a fresh installation by default. In general, the installer is working pretty stable for all provided Desktops, including Budgie. Hard to tell what went wrong for you, without getting the installer logs to check the …

It would’ve been more correct of me to provide specific details if I knew how. Sadly, I am somewhat limited by the live USB environment (and I’ve actually just lost the Windows ISO because of it, so I’m kind of stuck with a brick right now; I guess I will have to try installing KDE or Gnome and go f…

If you have still your installation, you could try this: [image] Irregular: I guess OP can switch to TTY and downgrade mutter and try to login into GUI. From the login screen, press Ctrl-alt-F2 to get to tty, log in, if you have internet connection then sudo downgrade mutter and choose the …

Thank you! I will try downgrading, as re-installing didn’t work (not the first time it didn’t, by the way, throughout today). Here’s the installation log if it helps. Very sad to be dealing with this, as installing an OS is nowhere near in terms of complexity to the quality-of-life configurations I …
