Updated RatOS and now it complains my Python doesnt meet minimums (3.7 vs 3.8)
I updated RatOS via the web UI as one does... Had no issues and all components are showing up to date. Printer is still working via web UI, but on the touchscreen attached to the Pi, I get the error that my Python is not v3.8. How did that not get upgraded with the system? It is possible I did system updates last and something in Klipper is unhappy ( I assume klipper because the error says to check the klipper logs) from the time where it was upgraded and the system was not.

Disable sleep mode - Is this RatOS issue or my touch screen?
My touch screen goes blank after 10 or so minutes and the only way I can wake it back up is to unplug its USB/Power connection. I searched the pi forums and saw people referencing DPMS, but those commands return "unable to open display" so not sure what the actual issue is. I know on my linux servers the console will sleep after inactivity and those have no GDE/GUI installed. Is there some switch in RatOS to disable this or is it possible the hardware on my touch display?

Cold printer rams bed into nozzle due to leftover ooze
I've had this happen several times now and I am wondering if the correct solution is to just heat the nozzle prior to zeroing the axis or if I just need to move my BLTouch further down. My current Z-offset is 0.47. Is that too little?

Why does RatRig remove hotend power while doing Z-tilt alignment?
I have noticed during the pre-print stage that when the printer starts doing the Z-tilt axis leveling, it shuts off the hotend, and then I have to wait for it to heat back up. The very first thing in the pre-print seems to be hotend and bed temp acquisition, so why let it cool down while doing Z-tilt? Seems like an unnecessary waste of time. Maybe its just more noticeable on my 500 because of the travel distance, but still annoying.

Why is my filament marshmallowing to 1.6mm diameter?
This is Amazon Basic PLA that I am feeding manually through my VC3 control panel interface. I am loading 10mm of filament at 1mm/s. It starts coming out of the .6mm nozzle normally, but then the extruder sounds like it skips a couple of times and then the filament starts coming out at 1.6mm in diameter. Not even sure how thats possible, but it does it consistently. This is an E3D Hemera that I recently upgraded from 0.4mm to an 0.6mm nozzle. Does the same thing at 195 deg or 240 deg.
