Nouveau lags pretty far @zebedeeboss for sure.

Do the proprietary drivers cover it?

Testing MXFB 23, and don't understand this:

--we are using moka-font-theme and fonts-font-awesome
--in the current Xfce 23a2 build (installed, updated), both show up with an apt policy query
--in the MXFB 23 pre-alpha (Live, updated), neither can be found, tried switching repos

Please check this actual video.

Press Esc key will cancel boot animation. (but why?)

Boot animation too slow (on boot)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THqBPzvhpU4

Environment: 2013 Retina MacBook Pro (2560 x 1600) MX-21.3
@Freja , I saw the video, but I cannot reproduce that slow down. @dolphin_oracle said he has the same size monitor and was going to test on that. Otherwise, all I can do is to attempt to make a different size ( ie smaller).

My concern when making it was the size and if slow machines could handle that size. But even if that MacBook is an i5 it shouldn't be that slow. And since both the images and your monitor are the same aspect ratio I wouldn't think there is any calculation slow down problem there either.

3 hours later, it went through. Maybe had to do with the Debian upgrade that was just released...

That's weird. Did you check the integrity of the download and the USB (now you can do that right on the opening screen?

Thanks @Jerry3904!
Yes, I always check the integrity of the download, and I tried that cool new feature on the opening screen. Just to be sure, I copied the MX-LUM log. Here are the results from the Live USB (actually a 16GB Micro SD Card):

live-usb-maker took one minute and 55 seconds.
All the md5's check-out.
I have a few other issues that I want to report on, but there doesn't seem to be any point until I get this resolved...

Addendum: Just Shutdown, discharged power, changed USB (Micro SD) to different port, restarted:
No change. Still can't install anything.
Will be powering-down for the night and check back in the A.M.
Hope somebody has some ideas; if not, I can always try a different medium, make a new USB, etc.
