Hi all, I need some wisdom from the pi gods:
I have a pi 5 8gb, that I have an HDMI usb 7inch touch display connected to, and I got a Waveshare pcie M.2 hat, that has a 16Gb Intel Optane SSD that I was successfully booting from, but then it decided to make things exciting...
1. The first issue was it used to auto login to my desktop, but then it randomly started getting stuck in a login loop...
2. For some reason, I decided to "use X11 window manager", it rebooted, and now it (currently) has a flashing white cursor (for those wondering, YES I am a noob
)..
I've just installed Debian 12 64bit onto the sd card that pi 5 used to run from, and it still does nothing, so I guess my question is:
What do I need to do, in order for me to be able to boot from sd card, clean the SSD, and start again?
any replies appreciated
