🛠️ Important Installation Note
When using the “Try FunOS” (Live Session) and launching the Ubiquity installer, you might notice that the mouse cursor doesn’t change during installation.
This is a known cosmetic issue caused by how Ubiquity interacts with lightweight window managers like JWM.
✅ Recommended:
For the smoothest experience, select “Install FunOS” directly from the boot menu instead of launching the installer from the desktop.
