      Got it now! For some reason, the internet seems to think my GUI is on tty7, but it’s on tty2, and on tty1 I only get a blinking cursor, but on the rest (besides the GUI) I get the “sysname login:” prompt. I’m sure this is a fedora thing but I can’t find out why it switched, or why tty1 shows up different.

      Explains why “switch to tty2” has never worked for me though, because I was already on it and I need to switch to 3!

      Edit: okay comment below says tty1 is SDDM. What’s that? Idfk. It’s a “graphical display manager” but all I see is a lone blinky line that seems fairly ungraphical. Also, tty7 shows the same blinky line, also SDDM? The world may never know. man ssdm seems to indicate it’s a user called sddm, whom I need to add to the video group and then I’ll see… something? Maybe?
