Well unfortunately this is my friend’s computer, I didn’t have much time left so I just installed the “mesa-git” package, which sadly wouldn’t boot. (I would only see systemd boot messages). So I reverted it back to the mesa package and then went home. I won’t be able to get to the computer anytime soon physically, so I will need to instruct him via discord. Meaning I will probably need some more specific steps he could reproduce. Would you please tell me exactly what to install/configure? Thanks for your time.
EDIT: This is quite bizarre, when he started to stream his desktop via discord, I could see the pointer on the screen.
