Please don’t private message people for help. This is a web forum, not a personal support service.

Who? Where?

If you are a “Linux first timer” then why have you added the BlackArch repo to Garuda? There’s no reason for including it.

This is telling you that the package database doesn’t exist, and how to download it using pacman - which was the command you used to get that warning.

You can very likely “fix” the problem with a straightforward:

sudo pacman -Syu

or using the Garuda update wrapper script

garuda-update

If garuda-update didn't help, also here, I'd go for a:

garuda-update remote fix

I know, I know, you shouldn't always use the hammer, but I really like that tool, what can I do?
