2) I cannot recommend using the Cosmic Desktop Environment, as it is currently in the alpha stage, if I understand correctly.

I have no experience with System76 hardware, but I've heard that reinstalling a standard Pop!_OS distribution—without the NVIDIA drivers bundled—and then manually installing the GPU drivers might help. I'm not sure if this applies to a preinstalled OS, though.

Thank you for your comment. I use GUI Emacs on Windows; it runs perfectly---a bit slower than on Linux though. Agree, Git Bash is the most useful, I use it as a shell too.

Just a note. basedpyright doc claims "unlike pyright, using the basedpyright CLI doesn't require you to install nodeJS". Actually, pyright doesn't it as well.

Thanks for your comment. Haven't heard of basedpyright yet. I think it would be worth to try it out.

@peregrinator.site @sachachua.com As far as I can see the emacs.peregrinator.site site is built with Hugo 0.144.0. Please double check if index.xml is correct if you plan to add RSS to your site. You know I recently had some problems with RSS using the latest version of Hugo.

#emacs
This image features a circular room with a domed ceiling painted with a dramatic, apocalyptic-style fresco depicting a large swirling scene of figures and activity centered around a glowing orb or sun in the sky. Below, there is a vast circular desk filled with piles of books, papers, and scattered electronic devices, such as laptops and monitors, creating a sense of chaos. A person is seated at the desk, seen from behind, surrounded by the mess. Superimposed text at the top reads "INIT.EL," and at the bottom, it says "ME," humorously illustrating a feeling of overwhelm and disorder in a workspace.
