Hello,
new to both Linux and Garuda here.
Installed Garuda alongside Win10 (dual boot) on my laptop
had some problems during the install:
had to use systemd.mask=mhwd-live.service to securely boot
and even there I had stability issues ON THE LIVE USB itself
fortunately a Bios/uefi update seemed to have made things better and I was finally able to install Garuda onto the laptop
but one major problem remains : using the keyboard makes the system crash
it seems like it goes into a forced shutdown
to be more precise:
I can still use the keyboard but I have to make sure to stay around 1 or 2 keypresses per second and that there is no overlap between the keypresses ( as you can imagine that isn't something that can be used on the long run as a gamer / aspiring dev )
I also connected a wireless Logitech Keyboard/MousePad to the laptop (logitech K400r) that uses a dongle
using the logitech keyboard DID NOT make garuda crash, this makes me think that this is linked to maybe the driver for the built in keyboard, or maybe the bios/uefi itself
I've tried looking for crash logs, but /var/crashes doesn't exist
my inexperience here shows, since I can't seem to find where I could find those crash reports, or logs.
The built in Keyboard had per key LED lighting, and there are also LEDs on the bottom of the laptop (ambiance lighting). I don't know if there is some kind of interference with this type of keyboard, but seeing that Garuda targets the gaming community I feel like LED keyboards would be supported
thanks for any input, and I am available if you need any extra information
