My point is less that leaving Arch alone breaks things and more that updating after a really long time can break something. It also kinda defeats the point of using a rolling release distro. I can see how you thought i was spreading misinformation though. My bad for poor wording.

Arch Linux with NVIDIA is definitely not great for newbies, especially for people who can’t keep up with the distro. If left unupdated for too long, your system may break. Even if you update every day, you could break something. You just never win with a rolling release distro like this. My only saving grace is that I run with an AMD gpu and so far, that thing has just worked.

My tip for anyone switching to Linux is to switch to AMD. Even if NVIDIA is better overall for performance and features, even if the last time you tried AMD on your windows system it was slow and a bit buggy, on Linux, AMD just works, without extra steps.

I also had that problem, but didn’t think much of it since I don’t really turn off my VPN often. It only really affected me when either my first issue occurred or ProtonVPN crashed for whatever reason. So far, running ProtonVPN through OpenVPN had solved this issue for me.

This has worked nicely! Thanks

All of my other devices are either Windows or Android for convenience. The VPN works on Windows, but I can’t isolate this issue via that route as those devices are old and have their own issues.

I have tried running my system without vpn and this specific issue hasn’t appeared from yesterday until now. It is making me feel a little uncomfortable not having it on though.

I’m going to try another suggestion, then I’ll come back to this one if it still doesn’t work.

Unfortunately, the wifi password issue still occurs, but at least it is even less frequent than before (>1 day between password requests).

KrispeeIguana OP , 9 months ago to linux in Issue with Network Manager

I restarted my system. All of my configurations should be equivalent to those in the wiki. I’ll reply again if the issue still occurs in a few days.

KrispeeIguana OP , 9 months ago to linux in Issue with Network Manager

I do indeed have plasma-meta.

KrispeeIguana OP , 9 months ago to linux in Issue with Network Manager

The issue still occurs, but not nearly as often as it did before.

KrispeeIguana OP , 9 months ago to linux in Issue with Network Manager

Apparently I had uninstalled the kwallet manager. I’ll change the password and see if my problem still occurs.

KrispeeIguana OP , 9 months ago to linux in Issue with Network Manager

Do you know how I would do that when I cannot access kwallet from the settings?

KrispeeIguana OP , 9 months ago to linux in Issue with Network Manager

Unfortunately, several other programs use this as a dependency and some of those programs are required by stuff like plasma-meta.

KrispeeIguana OP , 9 months ago to linux in Issue with Network Manager

The password for kwallet is different bc I thought I might have ended up using it to manage money. I did not.

KrispeeIguana OP , 9 months ago to linux in Issue with Network Manager

I have checked for for anything to do with kwallet in settings and searched for it with kwin. Kwallet doesn’t exist in either of those for me, only at system restart.
