  • Ran yay in the background (forgot about it) and then a few minutes later closed my computer because I was all of a sudden at 100% cpu usage and I didn’t know what process was causing it and the easiest way to kill it would be too shut down the machine. I probably should’ve just opened btop and killed it but I was too lazy. I ended not being able to boot my computer for a few days untul some nice lemmy folk walked my through my first chroot rescue. It was a educational experience. Next time someone makes the same mistake I can help them out.





  • Maybe try checking to see if you can get battery level from upower? Mught just be an issue with the GUI. upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0. The next step after that is using acpi calls and seeing if those are working properly. If you enter the command into the terminal you can find the line that says percentage.


  • Oh nice. The terminal shouldn’t really be necessary for most tasks in Garuda. Although you might want to learn the how to do pacman -S (Thing you want to install) to install things if they aren’t available from the GUI. The terminal often seems more daunting than it actually is.
