Qtile Edition

Issues & Assistance
1

Hi there, I really liked Garuda and i just downloaded and installed Garuda LInux Qtile edition. Everything is great but its a bit slow when starting up. When i power up my laptop garuda takes a minute to just show the systemd starting services and then even more time when it shows the bootloader. and also I cannot login as Qtile(Wayland) session. I can login to Qtile(Default) with a bit slow performance. Please help me to fix it.
SYSTEM SPECS:
Dell precision m4700
16GB RAM
M.2 SSD 256GB SanDisk
core i7-3840 @ 2.8Ghz processor
GPU : nvidia Quadro k2000m
GPU: intel 3rd Generation Grahics controller

Also when open up alacritty the neofetch or whatever system utility takes 5 Secs to load. Please help im using 1266M/15902M and 6.1% of CPU

You’re missing your garuda-inxi. Please read the template before just deleting it

where is that?

I think the template you deleted made it clear enough…but basically open your terminal and type garuda-inxi and post the output of that command as pre-formatted text using the toolbar above where you type your message

This is way you cannot use Wayland and why alacritty takes some time (alacritty uses hardware render).

For this kind of older hardware your options on what you can do is pretty limited. Using a Garuda version with a DE like Xfce might be a better choice, and even then you are going to be limited on what you can do with it.

Yes, I have read your Inxi. older iGPU isn't going to be much better.

you are wrong. yes my system is old but thats not the problem. i have ran Qubes-os for a week on this system which is much more havier than garuda. also i have used other garuda editions like KDE.. and all went smooth without errors. This only occured in this qtile edition.

12

and that is why I am suggesting you to try a different DE…

i have used qtile before in other distros. and I like Qtile... so this is a problem in the config or whatever. Qtile is not the problem.

14

and i think i solved the problem by changing config... thank you for saying this about the hardware without knowing anything...

15

Might want to take a look at the Garuda Assistant's Settings tab.

This kind of rude behavior will get you nowhere on these forums. I nor anybody else gets paid for troubleshooting here.

IF you would have stated that you had Qtile working in other distros, maybe i wouldn't have tried troubleshooting down that road.

thats what im telling you to first get some info and then try to solve the problems. im sorry if this felt bad to you.

If anything, people need to read the template first and maybe the forums rules.

can you tell me how to disable find-the-command feature in alacritty?

If you haven't found the answer via a forum search, please put a different thread with your question there.
