Thanks for your report. It's good to see there's progress compared to
Tails 3.16 but clearly we're not there yet.

Please send us a WhisperBack report after booting (and ideally, after
seeing graphical glitches), but of course before it freezes, crashes
or hangs. Please ask our help desk, in your report, to point me to the
ID of that report so I can investigate it.

Once I have this info, I'll research the problem a bit and if there's
anything I can suggest trying, I will :)

Regards,
