Hello, I just installed garuda on my pc.
Previously I installed it on my laptop, it went well. The grub has garuda theme.
But when I installed in this pc, the grub just shown black thing with grey text. No garuda theming and stuffs. It's as if I installed garuda on gnome-boxes.
Why would these two different install from same gnome iso has different outcome?
One reason I can think of is because I don't have internet access on my laptop during install, because garuda live USB cannot connect to any wireless router. I used ethernet cable on my pc. (this is incorrect)
I could test reinstalling again without internet connection, and I probably would. But before I do that, I wanted to know if anyone has any idea on what might cause this or if it is better this way instead. I already spent gigabytes of data doing additional software install @.@. (im using metered connection)
The PC ran fine, I'm okay with using it. But I can't get the thought out of my head, "If the grub theming had an issue, what else could have issues on this install that I did not know about?"
Thanks for reading about my pointless worry. Hopefully someone can give me an insight as to why this happened.

Garuda (2.6.7-1):
System install date: 2022-09-19
Last full system update: 2022-09-19
Is partially upgraded: No
Relevant software: NetworkManager
Windows dual boot: Probably (Run as root to verify)
Snapshots: Snapper
Failed units: anbox-container-manager.service
McFly: Importing shell history for the first time. This may take a minute or two...done.
UPDATE:
I just tested in virtual machine. Looks like the "Internet connection during install" is correct.
Now I just want to know, "Which one is better?". Like, which one is more likely to have potential technical issue in the future? Can we manually fix grub theme? and is the one without garuda theming boot faster? Or it actually doesn't matter?
UPDATE2:
actually no!!, Tried again with internet connection in virtual machine and it's styled. HMMM, sounds like it's time to gamble.
