Issue with Keyboard Layout in Garuda Linux

Hi everyone,

I’m a new user of Garuda Linux and I’m encountering an issue with the keyboard layout. I use Arabic for writing, but whenever I shut down or restart my computer, the Arabic language option gets removed from the keyboard layout. I want to keep the Arabic language available alongside English.

Can anyone guide me on how to fix this issue so that the Arabic language setting remains persistent after rebooting?

Thank you!

Please, follow the template, post garuda-inxi, we ike to know which DE you use.
