Hi, brand new linux noob and am having issues right off the bat.

I’ve just installed Garuda Dr460nized edition on my Legion laptop, fresh install (no dual boot), run the updater, installed a few apps and first thing I see is a little warning that tells me I need to merge pacdiff files and the file affected is mirrorlist.pacnew.

Do a little reading, get the general gist of what I’m supposed to do, then use the distro bundled software (Kompare) to merge all differences, save, reboot. BUT, the warning it still there, and now, when I go back into kompare, it tells me the two files are identical, plus there seem to be a bunch a graphical bugs now that weren’t there before I merged the files.

Very confused as to why this file, which just seems to be a list of various website mirrors, would cause graphical issues but like I said, I’m brand new to this, but determined to learn from my mistakes.

Can anyone explain what I’ve done wrong? I can’t seem to undo the changes now.
