Damn, sorry, it seems I use too much KDE

Also we should provide either baked in, or fallback icons in case the icon theme doesn’t provide it. The missing icons are attributed to this being made with certain icon themes, which miss on other editions.

Think it’s past time to not to have Bauh, Discover, Octopi, Pamac, Etc… included. Most of us have our personal preferences. Like in my case in Garuda I use the teminal with garuda-update, pikaur, and topgrade. Pikaur before topgrade cause right now Garuda is not playing nice with topgrade, so I have to do any AUR updates before updating the other components through topgrade, Yes before someone ask this is a Garuda specific issue, cause in both Arch And Reborn I don’t have to run pikaur for the AUR updates prior to running topgrade.
EDIT:
offering AnyDesk might not be a good idea. Awhile back I installed it cause I preferred it over TeamVeiwer and had major issues with programs crashing, theme not behaving. Removed AnyDesk and the issue went away. I tested in another Arch based distro and immediately got the same issues.
Forgot to mention we also have the 6.13 kernel due any day now.

Will the assistant tools ever get ported to Qt6? I like to keep my system as light as I can. Almost without exception, the only Qt5 packages I have installed are because garuda’s assistant tools require them.
Welcome was done already, Assistant is on the way as well.

… i’ve tried SUSE Imagewriter and it also doesn’t work; which methods do you use to get the new isos work booting & installing 
I used Mintstick. If you install it search for USB Image Writer and not MintStick.

Porting Assistant Tools will not allow you to remove qt5 deps. Other apps still use it, they must all be ported before qt5 can be removed.

so if we install the test version, when it releases will it simply be an update or will we need to re-install from the release iso?
I’m well aware of that.
I simply meant I don’t have any other software outside of gardua’s tools that require qt5 packages.
balena-etcher worked fine for me.

This can be difficult to answer. If changes are applied in files that only install/configure in the ISO, then you will need to manually port the changes.
As an FYI, we don’t plan at all to track the changes from now till the release and provide a procedure to manually execute. We track all changes since the start of this project and will provide a global migration procedure. You would have to find where your install stopped updating in there, which is not convenient.
But if the changes are system-wide and take effect without copying or editing something, then it will update without you porting the changes.
No one can answer that question cuz we don’t know when, where and what would be changed until the release.
If you plan on installing from the ISO anyway, I would definitely say wait.

Same here! Hasn’t failed me yet
A lot of us avoid it cause it’s bloated.

Where is the need to build this monster app, which needs electron, on chaotic-aur?

for a simple dd or cat one-liner in terminal?

I didn’t say build it, or even use it… You are right, it should definitely not be a half gig for what it does. For me, with good enough internet and not much stored on the OS drive, it’s easier sometimes to download that zip, run it, and have a nice visualization of what’s happening. I am proficient in dd, but Etcher seems faster, and also does a verification step pretty fast.
I might try cat next time, because I am definitely not against keeping things simple stupid.

I have been using cat for a while now because for me it is easy to remember. You basically just have to remember /dev/disk/by-id/; the rest is easy.
First elevate to root. To use Fish in your root shell:
sudo fish
Then cat against the ISO, and redirect to the USB stick. Once you get to “usb”, you can autocomplete the rest with the tab key.
cat /path/to/iso > /dev/disk/by-id/usb-[tab complete]
Be sure to target the whole drive, not a partition. See the note from the ArchWiki:
Do not append a partition number, so do not use something like
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DataTraveler_2.0_408D5C1654FDB471E98BED5C-0:0-part1or/dev/sdb1)
Obviously if you have more than one USB drive inserted, be careful you pick the right one.
Unfortunately it doesn’t show a status while it is running, you just have to be patient and wait a few minutes. But on the plus side, it’s very simple and fast, and doesn’t require installing anything.
If you want a good GUI tool for flashing the installation media, I recommend Fedora Media Writer. It’s very reliable and easy to use. There is a Flatpak of course, but it’s also in the Chaotic-AUR so you can install it with Pacman.
sudo pacman -S mediawriter
They package this application for Windows and MacOS too, which is handy if you or someone you know needs to create boot media from one of those OS’s.

I figured out why Snapper Tools is empty on the machine I tested on: backend.cpp · main · Garuda Linux 🦅 / Applications / Snapper Tools · GitLab
[...]
for (const auto& volume : qAsConst(volumes)) {
static QRegularExpression re("@\\/.snapshots\\/(\\d+)\\/snapshot");
QRegularExpressionMatch match = re.match(volume.path);
if (!match.hasMatch())
continue;
[...]
Only subvolumes whose paths conform to this specific format (i.e., starting with @) will be processed to extract snapshot information. I was testing on a system where the subvolumes have been renamed to something else, so they do not match the regular expression and are skipped in the loop.
Can someone on KDE Dr460nized or Mokka test if launching Snapper Tools from the terminal with the pkexec-gui tool preserves the theme?
/usr/lib/garuda/pkexec-gui snapper-tools
If so, maybe we can just change the desktop file to use that for launching it.
