  • Format terminal output (including your garuda-inxi) as a code block by clicking the preformatted text button (</>) , or put three tildes (~) above and below the text

Done.

Please, no pictures from terminal.
Images can be read worse, are not searchable and copyable for further search.
Post full log. Maybe with PrivateBin if needed.
