IDK, but just use GUI packages manager as search tool and use the original pacman in terminal, there is last but not least, there is garuda-update to prevent problems.

I always use garuda-update for system/program updates but octopi to install new apps.

Instead of hardcoding the icons, can we please just have the garuda-icons package include all the icons needed for every Garuda official application instead of hardcoding them into every application that needs to mention another application? In my opinion, that seems like the superior approach.
Youāre welcome!

I donāt feel like hunting for my post about the default theme, and since it never got answered Iāll ask again.
Has the issue with not being able to drag widgets to the desktop or panel if the default theme is in use been addressed yet? Thanks
On the new release (dr460nized), Firefox, Home is displaying the āRecent Activityā in a column rather than a row. I compared (recent & new releases) the Settings ā Home, Recent Activity; both have the same settings. I also have the same extensions, themes, and plug-ins in both systems. Iām not sure what other parameters to check.
I have had that problem with ONE widget and it was not theme related cuz I was using a different one.
I am crossing fingers Plasma 6.3 will do something good.
Either way I would not chase any UI irritant at the moment, cuz things may change with 6.3.

Garuda did not do anything regarding Firefox, we donāt include it by default in the ISOs. Your issue might be some changes on the Firefox side.

Normally I wouldnāt but this is theme related cause I know of others that ran into the same issue with the default theme, and When I used the theme in ReBorn and Arch I got the same issue. It is something with the Sweet theme / Dragonized.
As said happened to me with another theme completely.
Once 6.3 lands I will retest (and you as well) and from there try to see if there is any common base to that.
The theme I tried is 100% different than Dr460nized so worst case it could be a default widget or something else that is present in all of our Plasma spins.
But no one knows what 6.3 will impact.

After the new OS release and Plasma 6.3 might be worth posting which widgets we add.
What do you mean by āaddingā widgets?
I mean listing which we use to see if there are specific ones that are part of the issue that were are using.
I think my 1st test will be to try without any widget and then add them 1 by 1.
But my problem is this issue is very intermittent for me, so god knows how many times I need to execute the same test to ensure I actually test somethingā¦
EDIT: The list of widgets can be found in
/usr/share/plasma/layout-templates/org.garuda.desktop.defaultPanel/contents/layout.js
/usr/share/plasma/layout-templates/org.garuda.desktop.defaultDock/contents/layout.js
I went ahead and took the leap, Iām not entirely sure what Mokka is, but it runs smoothly! Nice graphics interface. Looking forward to more info. If you want any info, let me know what to do to get info.
Thatās normal it hasnāt officially been released yet so no Release Notes yet. 
But itās a Plasma spin, of courseā¦

Care to post some screenshots? Iām curious but not quite brave enough to install yet. 
My earlier post here has one:
Hopefully I wonāt have to take it down due to spoilers 
Anywho I have some other thingsā¦ I am currently using the i3 spin and it works great. Installed from Ventoy like a charm.
Also noticed that Calamares is in light theme, which is good because it addressed the font colour issue I mentioned in my other post.
A few things Iāve noticed, though:
- Config includes autostart entries for programs not installed by default (xsettingsd, ff-theme-util, desktop-items) - not a big deal but wondering if itās intentional?
- There is no indication that
exec --no-startup-id ~/.local/bin/shctsautostarts the cheatsheet - it took me a while of hunting around before I finally figured it outā¦ >_>;; - Default Dunst notifications are HUGE:
Stil in the middle of ricing my setup so it doesnāt look 100% there yet
These arenāt dealbreakers but thought to mention in case any of this is unintended.

Thatās right, changes sometimes leave dead bodies 
??? My translation app and I do not know whatās the problem is.

That part is about how the line in the i3 config
exec --no-startup-id ~/.local/bin/shcts
has no comment that it is for automatically starting the window that shows you the keybinds. Took me a long time to figure it out but maybe Iām just too stupid to use i3 
As mentioned, itās no problem if these things stick around for the final release, but someone might see it as a quality control issue or something.
Massive Dunst notifications are no deal breaker either, it makes sure you will see them 
otherwise, the defaults are good.
Ahh, ok, give me the dunst values for people with eagle eyes like do you have
@lum1nuss Changed to half and now waiting for posts that it is too small. 
Yes, of course, a hint canāt hurt, but my foremen (maintainer) didnāt make any in the autostart area either
