I like Losslesscut for simple edits.

Glad that you were able to solve this. By the way, there are at least two MSI boards that work with a Coreboot variant: https://docs.dasharo.com/unified/msi/overview/

Geany and dte in the terminal

Strange. I assume you're using a standard .conf file such as those on https://www.andrews-corner.org/abcde/, right?

About one month ago, Libreoffice began taking too long to start. I assumed it was a LO issue, but then I noticed Firefox was also taking forever to start. Based on this topic https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=153321 , I purged xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk from my system and ...

I have the following script set to autorun on xfce:

In reply to the above poster, I wasn't able to solve the issue. I connected my laptop to my phone to get online while on holiday, but now that I'm back I've found no issues with my home wifi network, probably because I don't need to input the password.

I encountered the same issue when trying to connect to a new wifi network, after entering the password. However, I've been able to connect to stored networks without issue.

I got rid of lightdm and I simply log in using startxfce4. I installed suckless-tools to have screen lock functionality with slock.
Maybe you could try --dry-run to see what apt will do if you purge ligthdm: sudo apt purge lightdm --dry-run

I remember my old Vostro 1400 laptop failed to display an image after installing Debian 9 I think. According to my notes, I
- added "quiet video=SVIDEO-1:d" to etc/default/grub
- ran "sudo update-grub"
Probably won't work for you, but maybe you could try checking your grub options.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead has tons of depth and feels like it suck become seriously addictive. But it's quite hard and I don't think I've ever survived more than a couple of hours.
And don't forget Dwarf Fortress, obviously.

Sorry, I missed that part.
No, I don't use encryption.

I uninstalled everything plymouth-related years ago and I've never noticed any issues.

Thanks. I've been thinking about installing a minimal KDE system and this will come in handy.

Vivaldi with javascript disabled for my daily usage. Firefox ESR for most "serious" sites that require javascript (e.g. banking).

For 13 years, since I got my first laptop in 2008. I've used many distros since settling with Debian for good (I hope): PcLinuxOS -> Mandriva -> Crunchbang -> Mint -> Debian

I like Deadbeef and Audacious, but at the moment I'm using Audacious a lot more because it has a better equalizer. I haven't tried Quodlibet, sorry.

Thanks for recommending lossless-cut. I'd been using flowblade for a while, but it's given me some trouble recently and lossless-cut is perfect for the simple edits I need to do.

I have trouble when I booth my laptop with with some monitors/TVs connected. They are simply not detected. However, if I connect them after the laptop boots (for example, after reaching the login screen), there are no issues. Maybe that could help?

I like Flowblade, though I've only used it to make very simple edits. The version on Debian Stable is quite old, but you can run it from a user folder.
