I hate this so much
This happened setting up the system (before installing it) while i was snapping a firefox window.
I wonder which version of plasma that is. With my 5.27.11 plasma is on ctrl-alt-f2, and virtual terminals are on ctrl-alt-f3, f4, f5, and f6. ctrl-alt-f1 shows the boot messages.
Which Linux distribution is causing your problem?
Are you certain that, you verified the checksum of the image you’ve pulled from wherever in the Internet?
This actually varies according to the Linux distribution and TTYs were set up for it.
(I’m on Kubuntu.) That was my implied point, thank you, I should have been explicit about it.
