It’s harder when you can’t even talk about “the 00s” gracefully, though. How do you say that?

The aughts/oughts/noughts/noughties, depending on where you’re from.

I don’t know what TTY7 is, but if I had to guess I’d say Plymouth, which is the graphical loading screen that covers the boot messages.

SDDM is the login screen, but when you’re already logged in it’s not going to display anything. If you reboot your computer SDDM is what you see before you start KDE. If you use Gnome then this will be different because Gnome doesn’t use SDDM.

For comparison here’s the error message KDE displays in the same situation: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/15477a5/screen_locker_is_broken/

I believe it has no localization support, but the language is clearer and the command it tells you to run is much simpler. A big problem with it is that Ctrl-Alt-F2 does not actually get you to a working TTY on many distros – e.g. on Fedora TTY1 is SDDM and TTY2 is the DE – and the error message is not adjusted based on which TTY is which.

The funny part is that I can’t tell whether you’re talking about LLMs or the C-suite.
