ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED

Try paveaucontrol, it has an option to lock settings plus it’s a neat app to call when you need to customise settings. You could also add user to the group that has access to mic.

Hiprland? Although Wayland has some quirks

It depends on how much time you really want to invest. If you don’t have any time then Linux is not for you. You can’t just read some commands of internet and past them in the terminal expecting everything to just work. If you have moderate time then I suggest Debian for it’s stable nature and big support. Since you have nvidia you should use xorg for a more hassle free experience although I do have nvidia working with Wayland so it’s doable. If you really got time to invest then Arch. But the install process takes allot. You’ll have to manually format drives, create efi partition, install the kernel bootloader etc… There’s an official install guide don’t worry. Some side notes:

• you can get windows app to work in Linux using WINE but it’s hit or miss.
• windows games work okay… check this Site to see what games work best.
• use Arch wiki since it has allot of useful stuff

Arch for a newcomer? Are you a masochist?

Why not use Microsoft removed in a windows VM? Seems more secure and the company should offer a key to use the product

Liveusb sistems do get stored in RAM since it’s so much faster and reliable. Also I’m pretty sure most liveusb are read-only so it’s Hardee to modify data. Manjaro must be loading small parts into Ram, or you didn’t had enough ram, so when you took it out it only had the data on RAM which wasn’t enough for it to process any command

Nvme would be much faster, I personally use the one from ugreen which is ~30€ plus a nvme with 2-3gb read/write speed for around 100€. You can find 1tb for 100€. I don’t know any good USB sticks that can do that much

No that wasn’t the problem. I should edit it as solved. What I did was delete the partitions and regenerate mkinicpio, delete all arguments and some grub configs. The efi partition still gets mounted but at least I need root privileges to modify and that’s good enough

Never had any problems, not even on Android and 4k video. I did turned on full hardware acceleration though

VLC?

We’ll dunno much but wouldn’t the UUID of the drive partition change?

Are the drives encrypted?

Managed to get grub theme work so the grub is set up right. I guess I should stop being a help vampire. Anyway thanks for the help

What I meant is that during boot efi partition gets mounted before root so it wouldn’t be able to get config files from root partition. But that’s not the problem, I tried regenerating grub. Most likely it’s something wrong with the theme I applied. It keeps saying that it dosent found grub and that it should be mounted either in /efi or /boot but it is mounted. I’ll try with grub-customizer.

I was looking through commands history and I noticed something. If I’m mounting efi in /efi but I save grub-mkconfig -o to /boot/grub/grub.cfg during boot grub won’t even notice the config file since root is not mounted. Should I save changes to /efi/grub/grub.cfg instead? Or /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the place it should be?

Dosen’t work. At first the partition was dirty no I managed to run chxdisk(or whatever its called) and can mount it without hassle but it still dosen’t appear in boot menu. I think there’s something wrong with grub.cfg since the theme is not displaying but I don’t know how to solve it

I have windows with broken efi partition on another disk but that’s not important, or is it?

1. I think so, it ships with arch, right?
2. I had it mounted in more places. First on /boot then in /grub and now it’s in /efi.
3. The grub.cfg config has always been in the same folder but I’ll check it to make sure.
