@rolf, are you using legacy boot or uefi? NVIDIA? If NVIDIA, you may need to manually set a console resolution that matches the native monitor resolution. For example, "set gfxpayload=1920×1080" in grub.cfg which works around oddities in the nvidia xorg driver. If it's Intel graphics KMS should be handling this automatically and your best bet is to file a bug report at the freedesktop bug tracker.

@Joe, yes networkmanager works perfectly now. I only used systemd-network when I was on Linux because it was easy to configure and I wasn't using a frontend. I had a very "crafted" installation.
I noticed the older I get, the less I enjoy crafted versions.

Just rely on defaults, and bitch when they make no sense... that's what I say.

That is actually very true. I felt I was getting too old for the tinkering. If I do go back to Linux, it will be CentOS8. No AUR or pacman there.

I've been using arch for a good 15 years now. I agree you tinker less, but so far i would go with i3 any day over windows
