How Do You Solve Tech Problems?

Closing this with the following solution.

How to solve tech problems? Follow this simple guide:

  1. Use the online Wiki or the physical/digital manual that came with your software/hardware
  2. Do a web search by using the same question you have in your mind. Examples:
    → how do I open nvidia control panel on Linux
    → how do I install an older version of electron on Arch Linux
    → how do I get a loading screen when booting like on Windows
    → how do I install another kernel
    → kde wallet keeps popping up
  3. Go to a tech forum like EndeavourOS, stack exchange, etc. and use the search tool with the same questions in step 2
  4. Go directly to the app developer’s site/forum/GitHub/etc. and use their search tool
    [Wiki] How To Check Bug Reports
  5. And finally, if all the above fail, make a post about your specific issue using the forum of your choice (distro forum, official app forum, app’s official support tickets, etc.)

If reading is your issue, then Erik Dubois exists. He has a YouTube and Odysee channel with answers to almost every Arch Linux (and sometimes Linux in general) question you can think of.

PS: I know some people find wikis/manuals to be tedious, so that’s where web searches come in. They are very convenient and usually have links to everything that you don’t want to look for in the wiki/manual. Learn to use the internet, for your own sake. :wink: :vulcan_salute:
