Questions tagged [graphics]
graphics is used for questions that are related to graphics mode (tty) as well as graphic cards and their drivers. Please note that there are a few specific tags like [intel-graphics], [amd-graphics] available that should be used instead when applicable. X11 related issues have their own tag: [x11], as do GUI related questions: [gui].
