I will spend less time on the forum looking for solutions. Thank you, you are saving me hundreds of hours. Seriously, why do people need to put someone else down before they try to help? Have I said something to offend someone?

Re: (Boot Issue, Non Artix) Laptop Blank Built-in Screen with Extended Display Reply #19 – 15 February 2025, 14:32:45 If you spent more time on the forum you'd know that lq often provides good advice but phrases replies in a minimal manner, don't worry about it.And journalctl is the systemd equivalent to looking in /var/log/syslog, except they record the logs in binary not text format so you can't simply read the log and have to use journalctl to convert it to text, after spending half the day reading the lengthy journalctl related manpages to get the correct options.

So users can use the journalctl commands?
