      I… I think that might not be working on my install… I keep getting out of memory crashes that hang my laptop and I’m not really technical enough to solve it so I’ve just been living with it until I reinstall and try to set everything back up, or distro hop again

      I wonder if I configured something wrong at install or broke it at some point tinkering…
