So, I lied, apparently. Well, not really, just decided things were not as I’d like them to be, and some people were just not as they should be. I’ve chosen a different path and with many different reasons for it. I stopped working on and with Garuda. Certain differences of opinion, and certain people, well, more specifically, one person. Edu4rd, whom likes to hide under the hidden A Garuda Admin account, while being an insulting belittling and simply pompous rude person. Not just that, but because EndeavourOS does things very simple, and don’t make massive alterations to the distro like Garuda does. So I’ve been running the distro for several months now actually. I run it on my desktop, on…

The path of Endeavour I had tried out EndeavourOS extensively as well in my path, and because it was down to the metal Arch Linux without overlaying atop it, it was something that should be investigated. But in the end, due to Telegram community base and due to YAD, and just due to the lack of overall experience and knowledge of the team as a whole. There’s no CI/CD implementation. There’s a guy that build the ISO every month, if they remember, and aren’t on vacation… There’s an honest lack of true commitment in that regards. I asked them about YAD, and got very little about it. Except they intentionally made YAD startup with a delay because it had mysterious…

So I’ve been working on Garuda Linux now for a bit, and started doing deep dives into the core parts of what makes Garuda… Well, Garuda. How it’s configured, how it’s packages are done, how it’s tuning things. Why it’s doing that annoying thing with Firefox that I don’t like… And so far, I’ve been making headways of changes to fix the concerns I have actually found. ONE of which I actually created byself by accident, (thanks Manjaro!) but it would’ve been nice to be not so ignored by the Garuda XFCE maintainer about it, so I would’ve found it faster? Well anyway, My Manjaro backup included light-locker from LightDM, but XFCE was already running it’s own xflock4. Together this…

Beginning A New Path So I decided with the DisplayPort issue, it might be time for a new change in the way I do things. I’ve basically at this point fully upgraded my computer, new case, new water cooling system, 64GB RAM, and most importantly, new GPU that can actually perform quite amazing. Sooo, I’ve embarked on a new journey, and started tinkering with Manjaro Linux. I didn’t want actual Arch Linux on my desktop, because I do know it can be… problematic being always bleeding edge current. And I know Manjaro does hold back updates in part for this very reason. Well, to be honest, it was a pretty decent distro these days as well. Very basic with the…

Display Port in Linux So, I finally had the money, and GPU costs were finally starting to come down, sorta kinda, and I wanted out of the Nvidia ecosystem for good, and the local computer stores had an ASUS RX 6700 XT Dual, which I ultimately ended up using to upgrade from my nVidia GTX 950 which was starting to definitely feel its age. And while the performance was literally night/day difference, there was a new and unknown problem occurring with this upgrade. I’d be using DVI for the better part of the century and it’s always been reliable, albeit annoying as heck to deal with, but reliable in every way. Power saving, fast response, etc.. But they don’t make…
