I have the exact same little box for my HTPC in my living room.

It’s possible something went wrong during your install or configuration. I’m running a different distro, but I had to do very little tweaking or configuring of drivers, since the hardware is pretty standard.

Do you have any display output at all? Dropping into a tty or accessing your machine over ssh after boot at least gives you a starting point to debug.

Some tools that you can use to gather more info:

• inxi: prints out helpful summaries of system info for debugging. inxi --graphics should give you some info to work with. My output tells me that I’m using the i915 kernel driver for display output.
• modinfo: prints out kernel module info. The output is lengthy, so piping to a pager is helpful: modinfo i915 | less
• system logs: see if there are any useful error messages in your systemd journal with journalctl --this-boot --priority=3, or search for messages related to the i915 kernel module with journalctl --this-boot --grep i915

On this same train of thought: there’s also git sparse-checkout which uses the skip-worktree bit under the hood, and may have an easier interface. I’m not sure though, I haven’t used it yet.

I haven’t seen git update-index --skip-worktree mentioned yet. You can read about the motivation for this feature in the git scm docs.

I have used it in the past when a professor wanted us to clone repos for assignments that included some opinionated settings for VSCode that I didn’t want to use. Skipping the work tree for that directory allowed me to change or delete the config files without git complaining every time I pushed or pulled or whatever, and the changes I made remained local.

You could set up a couple git aliases to “freeze” and “thaw” your config files on the second drive.

I’m a baby dev trying to collect some brain wrinkles. Can you expand that last point? What’s the downside of client side decorations? What’s a better alternative?

The point is that there is now a credible fear that if Biden does not drop out, Trump wins.

Replacing the candidate at the top of the ticket this late is a hail Mary, but it could bring unenthusiastic voters back into the Democratic tent.

I didn’t realize HTC was back in the phone business.

I thought they sold off their mobile assets to Google in order to chase VR and crypto hype cycles.
