From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[RESOLVED] GDM Issues (Fedora 42) (lemmy.world)

I've recently been unable to use my computer running Fedora 42 with gnome. It boots up, and GDM starts running, however it shows a flat grey screen with no login option. I can pull up a tty and login as normal (although using gnome-session to start a GUI session from there doesn't work). I have tried to use systemctl to restart GDM from the tty, but that l brings me back to square one. What can I do from here to resolve this issue?

GPU: Radeon 7800xt, Open Source Drivers Window System: Wayland.

It would work, but likely only as a temporary fix. Unless I intend to switch away from GNOME permanently, I'd be unable to lock my screen, since GNOME uses GDM specifically for screen locking.

eesh, that would be a deal breaker for me.
