   * Obsolete in Fedora 39 KDE ~~For prompts, the on screen keyboard can be shown by swiping your finger from the bottom of the screen upwards otherwise docking works.~~
   * Use + button on your Joycon to trigger the on-screen-keyboard
   * It is mandatory to boot and a root account is not sufficiant.
   * You may additionally setup a network connection and your timezone.
   * The initial setup installer can seem to hang but let it exit gracefully by simply waiting long enough (up to 30 seconds approximately)
