Boot log/kernel/dmesg, X/Wayland/kde primarily. Been a long time since I’ve had to troubleshoot something like this so I don’t know the new kids on the block. Maybe upstart or dracut? Whatever manages the boot process now

That seems strange. What’s in the log?

So what does it have to do with Linux?

Believe all you want, reality doesn’t care.

I would recommend not touching system apps unless you have a very good reason for doing so. And be willing to risk breaking your device.

I don’t personally have one, but Civ has a touch interface (at least 5 does, never got into 6). The touchpads probably approximate a mouse input.

If you want a similar gaming handheld, Steam Deck.

Boot live media, mount the drive, copy it off.

I love posts like these. I have no idea what I’m reading half the time, but whatever they’re doing sounds interesting!

Reminder that unless you are protecting the lives of others, no job is worth your own life. Keeping a hospital online to keep patients alive? Sure, I might stay through a hurricane for that. Keeping email online for Helen in accounting? Nah, that can wait. We have DR plans.

Also, you don’t significantly increase a generator’s efficiency by removing the load. In fact, they need to have a minimum load to run properly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_stacking). If you wanted to save fuel, you’d have to shut it down completely. If you wanted to ensure continuous operation, you’d already have a fuel truck on standby to go in behind the hurricane and refuel.
