Foot terminal no longer haunts me on Garuda Linux, includes original issue and edited resolution.
Edit: I will leave my inital issue below, however, I have figured out a solution: First, simply uninstall Foot terminal. As Alacritty is apparently plugged into Fish and Neofetch already, but Foot is considered the default terminal for auto-runs of both Fish and Neofetch. I also found out that Ptyxis (installed as a flatpak) enjoys auto-runs of Fish and Neofetch, I only use that for Distrobox…Still, quite nice! I did break pacseek because I uninstalled Foot, however, I do use either Garuda Toolbox or garuda-update to install system updates. This isn’t a huge problem for me!
No need to switch now, and I am a very happy man. This was a case of “fire out of ice, think, think”!
Original Post: I’m still enjoying Garuda Sway quite a bit; it’s a lovely and functional WM that makes my laptop experience a speedy and undistracting one. Save for a single issue. Foot terminal acts so fucking weird, it displays a “depreciated: foot: [colors] : use [colors-dark] instead” for 19 lines. Which is honestly insane default behavior, I don’t understand it, and this is an aesthetics nightmare. Foot is nice because it is very minimal and generally plays well with WM based on Wayland…However, I simply cannot stand that weird ass message that gets printed 19 times. I see it every time I use Pacseek or Garuda Toolbox, both of which are brilliant tools that make managing my laptop super easy! Its a shame that these a simple aesthetics issues marrs my experience with the Garuda Sway.
I did make a post on the Garuda Linux forum, so I will get it fixed eventually…if nobody answers, I’ll just switch my distro. As none of these people are getting paid to deal with petty user problems like mine. As a grown ass man, it costs me nothing to figure out an alternative distro. I have plenty of options. Probably going to return to SolusOS and rock a Niri WM because they recently added everything necessary to make a user friendly Niri set-up out of the box. Batteries included is always a wonderful thing!
