May i have the wrong Hardware for this Distribution by now?

Hello Everyone.

i am having big Problems using Garuda Linux. Yes Garude 1st Time try. Many things cool and nice build. But i think i have the Worst Hardware for this Os at the Moment. In that Live installer everything worked Great! Wobbling Windows. Installer ist suoer cool, just overrides my Ubuntu und Works fine.
But, when i was in the fresh installed System after Reboot, things Changed.
The Welcome Sreen installer is - Very Cool !!! Never seen in other Distros doing so.

  • “unresolvable package conlicts detected” … “jre-openjdk and jre.openjdk-headless are in conflict”
    → So i am not that new to Linux, bit Googling and pacman Stuff done. all right. Thing goes on.

  • But i guessing, why so much Fan’s doing noisi Sound. “Ksys” answered me in ~80% CU load on all cores. Also i noticed my second sceen was a mirror of my first.
    Well okay, letz go on.

  • Went thru all setup stuff - nice an flawless - good job.
    System was hangy - My courser was laggy and FPS below 60.
    Got to HW Tab - it was shown Nvidia is installed - twices launched that Setup for Nvidia prp…installer - all fine.
    Rebootet, nothing changen.
    (i did some more stuff but not needen here)

  • I found on this forum, that i have sick Hardware at the Moment for this Linux.
    Cause:
    Ryzen 9 7600x and nVidia RTX3080ti
    i found a thread here: Reinstalling Nvidia Drivers - #6 by Hanuman
    and can confirm it all. Also i Downgraded the Drivers. The behavior became a bit better - But Dual Screen working no - Fluent 60 Hz no - wont talk about 165Hz on my main Screen.

So With the Ubuntu install before, i was not having trouble.
Arch - was super cool and Fast on my system last Year, thats why i really liked ist.
So is it aktual my Hardware having trouble with this Software or what am i doing wrong?

garuda-inxi - as this Forum wanted me to post.

Thanks in Advance.

Heck, I’ll give you $50 & pay for shipping. Or trade you straight across for this 2019 Gen 9 Core i5-9400 Intel/Intel rig that does great with Linux (bought with Linux in mind).

sudo pacman -Rdd jre-openjdk-headless then garuda-update again worked for me.
edit: I’m not really sure why, but I guess the full jre now includes -headless rather than depending on it.

Can’t help with the nvidia though.

Try switching to the LTS kernel to test if it works any better.

  1. Is it the same hardware?
  2. If not, then what has changed?
  3. How did you install Arch?

Try x11 or with Wayland use the kernel boot parameter suggested here (maybe use the Garuda Boot Assistant, or micro as our default terminal editor instead of nano):

You don’t have that driver problem. This is just to explain what parameter to setup, how and why.
