My biggest pet peeve with Linux is the number of various builds and the various distros under those. If most in the community had worked together decades ago and kept working together ALL phones would be linux, ALL OS’s would be Linux. Windows probably would of died before WinMe, etc…
My big issue is no bloody way to ajust any graphics setting in Wayland with Nvidia. Come on, I saw a post a few years ago on the forum!!! I will try Gammastep in Garudo, in Manjaro I keeps getting Error: Could not control gamma, exiting.
Error: Failed to start adjustment method: wayland
The forums, I tried what they said, no go. For crap sake KDE, a gamma adjuster would be nice. I for 1 support a GarudaBSD if you guys switch. I don’t think that would be so dependant on a package dropped from maintenance & it causing all these probs.
Maybe I’m missing something, but what would the benefits be of a BSD-based distribution? Vs the current linux-base?

There is no wayland gamma control kde is working on it but as it stands there is no way to do it. It will have to be done via the monitors OSD. If you want this fixed faster you have to move the wayland team. Not distros.
Screens
- No way to change the gamma or manually adjust the colors without generating or finding an appropriate ICC profile
See here.
Nvidia will likely never update that app much less maintain it long term since its dead.

So if I got a AMD/Intel would I have to reinstall or would it just switch to the right driver?
You would remove the nvidia driver. Better to do it before you put in the new card but you can do it after. For any modern gpu to manage clocks and fans use Lact its right in rani.
Note: you still will not get gamma control with either brand.
Can I just do it through the GUI?
I think the tool might still be there? or it was dropped i cant say.

So, no way to control how things look? I thought just Nvdua had no way to control the Gamma/Contrast/Brightness in Wayland>
Brightness is the monitor supports it yes contrast is the same. Backlight - ArchWiki
but gamma no.
Like I said you have to take it up with wayland
Can’t find any latest news source but it seems Arch Linux mirrors have been hit by DDoS attacks, first connection is being denied while trying to update. They have been targeted since June and August it seems.
Try using solely IPv6, as a workaround. Seems to help when the attacks are taking place.

Is it possible to use ipv6 on 4G tethering? ISP doesn’t support it right now.
Can’t say in your locality, or with your provider. It does work with my provider on 5G in Canada.

ISP scores zero on ipv6 test. So it’s a no go. But thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe you try set manually MTU to 1450 or 1425 . Also sometimes upd --skip-mirrorlist helps to download few packages if it gets error repeat it until updates are done.
