Garuda (2.6.16-1):
System install date: 2023-08-07
Last full system update: 2023-08-13
Is partially upgraded: No
Relevant software: snapper NetworkManager dracut nvidia-dkms
Windows dual boot: No/Undetected
Failed units:
also the spaces between letters in some windows are irregular, like words will look like this: "H el low orl d", which i think is due to the font
another this that goes wrong is when trying to edit the keyboard layout it doesnt actually change
What does the error exactly say? Paste it into the thread if you can.
What did you try? What went wrong?
Since you have a laptop, consider using prime-run for offloading to the dGPU. This method has many advantages compared to optimus-manager or optimus-switch. Read through this short article to learn more: Switching between integrated and dedicated graphics | Garuda Linux wiki
What applications are you noticing this odd font rendering in?
Describe your method for attempting to change the keyboard layout.

- Greenwithenvy absolutely needs en_US as locale it’s hardcoded to not work without it. You can look here.
- Even after changing locale and launching it from terminal you won’t be able to use it since currently gwe has some issue that’s making it unable to launch it at all. It’s an open issue on gitlab.

i guess it doesnt support wayland which is what im using
the terminal, conky and other terminal basedd apps, i suspect (ඞ) it is due to the font “conflicting” with the letter spacing the terminal has
garuda settings manager > keyboard settings > chose the correct layout for the keyboard > click apply > input correct password
This seems like the crux of the issue. It seems unlikely you will get this working on Wayfire. Try a DE that can run an X session like KDE or XFCE.

im sorry but can you translate that to a slightly more understandable english ( english nor linux are my first languages )
The meaning of this sentence is: “This looks like the most important part of the problem.”
The software you are trying to run is not compatible with the Wayland display protocol, which is what Wayfire uses. My suggestion is to try a desktop environment (DE) which can run the Xorg display protocol instead.
XFCE, Mate, and Cinnamon are DEs that run only the Xorg display protocol, for example.
KDE and Gnome can run either Wayland or Xorg, so could probably be made to work.
Wayfire can run only Wayland, so for this application will not work.
