Ran a reform-check, but does not seem to show anything odd.
$ sudo reform-check
I: Contents of /proc/device-tree/model: MNT Pocket Reform with i.MX8MP Module
I: `uname -a` output: Linux mntpr-0 6.14.6-mnt-reform-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 6.14.6-1~exp1+reform20250526T171615Z (2025-05-26) aarch64 GNU/Linux
I: Version of linux-image-mnt-reform-arm64: 6.14.6-1~exp1+reform20250526T171615Z
I: Version of reform-tools: 1.72-2+reform20250520T090524Z1
I: Mount source of /: /dev/reformvg/root (LVM vg 'reformvg' on LUKS device 'reform_crypt' on SSD)
I: Mount source of /boot: /dev/mmcblk2p1 (eMMC)
W: Suggests of reform-desktop-minimal is not installed: firmware-iwlwifi
I: the following files differ from how they are shipped by reform-tools (ignore /var/lib/alsa/asound.state):
??5?????? /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
Noticed gnome packages as dependencies.
Thanks.
