From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
