Note 2

Login prompt might be displayed upon pressing power button after login via ssh, or - perhaps - after waiting for some time.

Note 3

• Last used kernel was 6.4.x;
• After upgrading to kernel 6.8.x WiFi did not work (probably due to config files which I did not update);
• An attempt was made by installing a new kernel from pmbootstrap (that worked with beryllium);
• The failed attempt has led to reinstalling the whole system (i.e. rootfs).

Note 4

• Splash screen is not displayed (same for kernel 6.4.x)
• Splash screen will be displayed upon poweroff/shutdown.
