Hello all!
I've been struggling with a recent issue since I've upgraded my system and did a restart. Ever since that, my WM seems to be broken. Basically when i start the system, and log in the screen "freezes" but whatever I do in the background still works and executes, without any visual changes. I use the i3WM version of Garuda and had no issues with it ever so far until now. I know that stuff does work in the background because when I switch between workspaces (open a terminal on ws. 1, I can't see the window, then I switch to ws. 2, then switch back to ws. 1 and the terminal is there), then the screen and everything is redrawn, and I see what I did before switching. Other than this very painful workaround I get absolutely no visual feedback on whatever I do on the system, and I can't seem to fix it.
Usually I have somewhat of an idea about what the issue might be, but not this time. The only idea I came up with was to reset i3 config at ~/.config/i3 to the default one found in the /etc folder, and to reset the config file found at ~/.condig/i3status to the default one too, but this did not fix my redrawing graphical issue, even after a restart.
I've tried upgrading again everything, tried doing several restarts, but nothing worked so far.
I'd like to ask for help with this above issue, maybe someone has an idea about what might be the problem.
