I wasted 2h trying to figure out why GTA V only run at 35fps and use 25w of power, turn out my dumb ass set power profiles daemon to powersaving mode and forgot about it. (lemmy.ca)

I just got this laptop (Asus TUF A15 2021) today and it surprised me that everything works just fine out of the box on Vanilla Arch, except NVIDIA gpu I had to install it manually on battery power that's why I enable powersaving mode. As for games performance it's basically the same as windows no more no less.

Tried that. Also didn't work. 🤷

As I replied above, I'll give it another shot. Maybe I fucked something up? Everything seemed to be working fine until I added the Repos to pacman, then it all went tits up.

    Be thorough, what messages did you get?

    Also their tool i stalls the repos only (you install the kernel right after)

    Don't remember the exact messages.

    Was following these instructions off the official page.

    Got to where the orange line is on the screenshot below, and it started throwing up a load of network errors. Again can't remember the exact messages, it's been a month, but it was saying that the Repos were unreachable. And pacman then stopped working entirely until I removed the Repos.

    Edit: I'll run through it again tonight and come back with actual answers

    Apologies. Was under the impression you installed the cachy os kernel. Keep in mins you can join the discord and ask there!

    No, so Garuda has a kernel switcher GUI. And I had tried switching to the latest CachyOS kernel, that didn't seem to do anything. AsusCTL still threw the "missing Asus drivers" error. So I went through the process of actually following the instructions and doing it all myself, and hit the roadblock I mentioned above.
