think it wouldn’t be too difficult to add

It would. Going from grayscale/B&W to color is entirely different hardware. It would be a different product.

Seems that way, except that it’s recognized by the UEFI. It seems like the boot image or partition may have become damaged or corrupted. Maybe you can boot into a live USB and get an fdisk read on the SSD and see if you can mount the partitions.

Please provide more information. What is the context? What are you trying to do (e.g. new OS install, or everything was fine and now it’s not, etc).

Some information about your system and software would be useful too.

I’ve got a kudu6 I could be convinced to part with for, say, US$2500.

Your boot device isn’t found. Something has been disconnected.

Check your drive connections.

You won’t see the kernel in the BIOS even if your devices are present. You will only see a list of devices.

Are those unreasonable things to ask for?

From the perspective of a business that wants to remain a profitable business, yes. We are a tiny minority of their customer base.

I don’t use VSCode, but I don’t see anything there that tells it where to find your browser.

Aside: this is not the best subreddit to ask this question. It has nothing to do with System76 products. You’ll probably have better luck asking in a subreddit about VSCode.

You need to edit the launch.json file to provide the path to your browser.

Wired agrees.

I’m finding myself wishing I had gone that route instead of the Kudu.

I’ve tagged this post for notification because this is the reason I haven’t really used my typefolio. I’d love to hear about options to make it usable. I’m really disappointed but it’s what I expect as part of the early adopter game. Hopefully there will be a software update at some point to make this experience better because it’s useless to me in its current state.
