Heyya everyone.
One more time, kudos for this nice distro, still my favourite so far.
So I am not sure if this is the reason, I did update yesterday, and had, on next reboot, a black screen with mouse pointer upon each next reboot.
I did try to boot from snapshot from last 3 days, same result.
I can boot live USB, and been able to chroot to mount my disk partition, however, I am not sure how to generate an update on this installed version to see if this update can fix the issue.
I am still learning on how this works.
This is a 5 days old garuda-inxi:
