Title: Boot menu delay and screen wake issue on dual boot (Garuda Linux 6.1.6-zen2-1-zen)
Body:
Hi, I’m facing two issues with my Garuda Linux setup:
-
Boot menu delay: When I power on my laptop, the boot menu takes a long time to appear.
-
Screen sleep issue: If my screen goes to sleep, it often doesn’t wake up properly. Sometimes I even have to reboot the system to get the display working again.
System setup:
OS: Garuda Linux x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.1.6-zen2-1-zen
Dual boot with Windows
Troubleshooting tried:
Tried adjusting display settings, but the wake-up problem persists.
Request:
Could you please suggest how to fix the boot menu delay and the screen wake issue? Is this a kernel/driver problem or something related to dual boot configuration?
