So I have been using EOS for a couple of years. I don’t know if this is a wayland issue or an EOS issue. I can’t switch to a TTY in the event I need to. I have searched all over the forums and even the arch wiki to no avail.
how do I enable TTY access if my desktop freezes for some reason?
Here is my inxi -FAZ info.
