See the display manager article for more details.

You can view Notion's man page during use with the F1 key and pressing the return key, this will tell you the default key bindings for Notion. You can also access the man page for other programs this way by pressing F1, typing in the program's name and pressing return. Besides the manual there is also a getting started tour available for a quick overview of Notion.

gollark: Hmm, I want to run `strings` over `FuckinToaster.x86`, except I heard about some security vulnerabilities in it because of it using some sort of buggy GNU library.

gollark: Mostly I just get a few hundred spammy HTTP requests a week which LOOK like they're trying common exploits.
