Hello, I am testing the KDE gaming edition on a virtual machine. After downloading the ISO and installing it, I noticed that the options in garuda-gamer are not correctly marked as installed after updating the system. Is this a bug specific to virtual machines? I am from a non-English speaking country, so this is a translated message. Please excuse any inaccuracies.
From the downloads page:
"Our distro is optimized for performance on real hardware. Installing in virtual machines is not recommended as it might result in a bad experience! (e.g. setup assistant not working) "

So, is this an issue specific to virtual machines? When I tested it before, garuda-gamer correctly displayed the installed packages after updating. However, today, after a fresh installation, it initially displayed correctly, but it stopped working after the update. Due to certain reasons, I am unable to install Garuda on a physical machine at the moment, so I wanted to test it in a virtual machine. My apologies, and thank you for understanding.
As @Kayo suggests,
Some of your hardware will not be seen by the vm.
What options do you refer to?

This is also the case on bare metal for me. No options are pre-selected even though they are installed (and as I recall, installed options used to be pre-selected). F.ex. “Steam (Runtime)”, “Steam (Native)”, “KPatience” and more…

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I noticed it some time back. Garuda Assistant suffers from the same issue. IDK what causes it, but it does give mixed / misleading signals. I wonder if this isn’t due to some sort of meta package I uninstalled or something like that.
I’m not on VM BTW. Just desktop.
