The breakage should nevertheless be fixed as soon as possible, ideally before the breakage reaches Linus.

@mntmn assembly was easy, on first boot we were disappointed by a lot of display artifacts - turns out I had not gotten the connection to the display panel quite good enough. Once we fixed that everything works. This thing is super pretty! Thanks!

Are you getting issues when using the ssh command on your #Linux, #FreeBSD, #macOS or #Unix like OS? Try passing the `-v` option to the ssh to increase the verbosity of the output during the connection process. This provides more detailed information about what's happening behind the scenes, which can be very helpful for troubleshooting connection issues like Authentication failures, missing/mismatched SSH keys, Network issues, firewall issues, and more.
