Just in case you missed it, once the 3.6 release is out in theory this link will stop being broken:

RewriteRule ^gdm/?$ doc/first_steps/bug_reporting/#does_not_start [R,NE]

Yeah, I saw that as well and it will be good enough as a start. But as I was saying on tails-ux this link is not very good either.

I think that this page is ready for review. Yeah, feels good to clean up a bit our known issues.

I’m assigning the review to intrigeri and not Cody because I’m more worried about the correctness of the technical details than about the writing in itself.

  • I would write The ID is *10de:0a6c* instead of The ID is *[10de:0a6c]*.
  • s/If your problem get fixed in future versions/If your problem gets fixed in a future version/
  • The NVIDIA Pascal section links to the list of Maxwell models.
  • “software package in Tails” ← missing verb?

Other than that and without having actually built the page, looks good to me!

I prefer putting the brackets because I think it will help people scan and identify these bits.

> s/If your problem get fixed in future versions/If your problem gets fixed in a future version/

Fixed!

> The NVIDIA Pascal section links to the list of Maxwell models.

Fixed!

> “software package in Tails” ← missing verb?

The verb is “install” and it’s in the link on the line before. Granted, it might not be the best link we’ve ever wrote…

Thanks for the review. I’m happy I got the technicalities right and now I can merge!
