Hi.
I am a 20+ year Linux user. I installed Garuda for a bit of fun while on vacation. I discovered that even though I set the keyboard (non-US) correctly (AFAICS) during the installation, when I select the encryption password it actually sets the encryption keyboard layout to US, but then applies the password correctly. In other words if my password were simply "!" (it is not) I have to now use shift+1 which is not "!" on my keyboard, to decrypt the disk.
Fortunately, I can make the switch between my default (physical) keyboard and the US one in my head. However, this seems likely to be a bug in the installer when it sets up the encryption?
I went through the installer a few times with different keyboard selections to validate this and got the same result each time.
