I am very new to Garuda and Linux in general but I wanted to share something that I stumbled across today. Let me first say that I am not sure whether this is a bug or an appropriate behavior that I just did not expect to see...
I installed Chrome Remote Desktop (from the AUR) to my Dr4Gonized installation using the following guide How to Install chrome-remote-desktop on Arch · Victor's Blog . Everything was looking okay through this process. Well, when I rebooted and tested with a CRD session, I could not see any of my icons, panel, or dock from the guest computer. So I rebooted my computer. When it fully started, I could not see my icons, panel, or dock on my host computer. I went round and round with it and I almost reinstalled Garuda on the host but I shut off my guest computer and rebooted my host. When the host garuda machine fully rebooted, my icons, panel, and dock fired back up!
So the only thing that corrects this anomaly for me, is to kill the CRD session on the guest machine, log out of the host, and then come back in. Maybe lots of folks have the answer to this and I am just being a noob, but maybe this info can be useful to someone who reads it.
Regards,
Jeff
First, nobody uses an outdated post from 2 Apr, 2020 .
Why you use proprietary software?
It would be nice if you post your garuda-inxi, too.

SGS,
Thank you for the response. I am not completely happy with CRD but it does work between my company-provided notebook pc that I have restrictions on by our company administrators and a windows machine at my home and this is the main reason why I use it (this activity is legal with the admin dept.). If there is another program that you recommend, I would like to try it. Here is my garuda-inxi
Regards,
Jeff

Something is odd about the timeline here. You have mentioned you have been rebooting during your troubleshooting and we can see you have pulled down an update today, but the fact that you are still on 5.17.4 makes it appear as though you have not rebooted this device in weeks.
Most of us have been running 5.18 for a couple weeks now, or nearly. A forum search for 5.17.4-zen reveals people running were running it all the way back in late April.
Are you describing troubleshooting that you did weeks ago? Or are you holding back your kernel for some reason? If you are updating and rebooting you should be on a newer kernel by now.

I am not willingly or knowingly holding back a kernel update (I admit I dont know how to do this). Is there a way I should do this manually? I did try to restore a snapper failsafe image today. Would that be why?
Yes, restoring a snapshot can bring you back to an earlier kernel. That update you pulled down today must have been large--cross your fingers when you reboot.
I take it from the fact that you restored to a snapshot that something else is wrong with your system (besides the broken CRD environment)?

The reboot went fine, thankfully...
Yes. CRD's issues were why I restored the snapshot and that was prior to the post and prior to my consideration to perform a reinstallation. And I spoke too soon also, apparently. This is what I am seeing when my host machine is logged in and my guest machine 'rings in'

It does appear that there is something where they would normally show, so is this due to CRD not supporting the blur or other compositing feature in use by the desktop?
