This black screen regression should be “fixed” now (commit 34d436a4082b5c5f23b00e13eb8e5a92d957d704) by passing a kernel argument “modprobe.blacklist=radeon” which disables the radeon driver. (This was also blacklisted in the last release 1.1.0 of Guix, see . I had removed “modprobe.blacklist=radeon” because it was for some time no longer needed on one of my machines.) Some users will have a black screen in the installed system as well (if they use Linux-libre). I don’t think we can do much about that. Niels only had trouble with the installer but did not on the installed system. It seems not feasible to predict which users would have a black screen in the installed system, so we cannot add instructions only for them. > Languages listed in the language selection are sometimes in English, Rarely > in the native language.

Yes, we could copy translations without understanding the language (at least after our planned switch from the Translation Project to our own hosted Weblate translation infrastructure).
