I do the typical Arch troubleshooting, wait a few hours and then yay -Syu and pray they’ve released a patch.
Embrace the windows approach:
Wait for the wizard to finish this time it’ll totally do something click around in regedit,
reformat,
post “fixed it guys”
delete account.
- Web search it
- Read a bunch of technical gibberish and terminal commands
- Type them in
- Some kind of generic error
- Go back to using my Mac
I once had a problem with an ASUS notebook. I think it was the touchpad. So I looked in dmesg and found something like:
“HID something something was configured with flag 1. If this is incorrect, try the command blah blah flag=0.”
Ran the command and it was fixed.
I’ve never seen such a beautiful error in Windows. And I really lost my respect when I tried to calibrate an external screen on a Mac because that felt like Linux from 2016.
Yeah that’s great if you know what dmesg is and how to use it.
