This might prove useful reading,
https://linux.org/threads/manjaro-k...tips-for-arch-based-distros.19795/#post-58697
... was covering this issue with
@Jeffrey Lapinski a bit over 18 months ago.
i think i called the application of a
custom.cfg
a
fix where it is really a
workaround. as is the arcolinux method.
nothing wrong with a workaround
, but the only real fix will be when the arch-based distros get their act together to
share the top of the leaderboard.
as well as Arcolinux, there are a number of Arch-based distros that share this problem.
Archman, a Turkish offering, does not.
Manjaro have
[chris@MJRO-GNOME-HDD ~]$ sudo update-grub
[sudo] password for chris:
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found theme: /usr/share/grub/themes/manjaro/theme.txt
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-5.6-x86_64
Found initrd image: /boot/intel-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-5.6-x86_64.img
Found initrd fallback image: /boot/initramfs-5.6-x86_64-fallback.img
.... whereas
Archman has no problem, because
[chris@ArchmanXfce-SSD ~]$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[sudo] password for chris:
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found background: /home/chris/Pictures/archman-manyas1.png

...
noticeably absent is the ubiquitous intel-ucode microcode reference
Manjaro Forum have this
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/it-is-safe-to-delete-the-microcode/59729/3
and that is worth reading from top to bottom, even though its OP is focussed on overclocking.
Manjaro Forum's Goh Lip is the venerable fellow i got the custom.cfg tip from a few years ago.
so i will be back with more, but for the moment, we can look at the Arcolinux option, and the custom.cfg option.
with the custom.cfg option, it is simply a case of adding the file into /boot/grub for each of Buster and Tricia Xfce - no need to update grub, the lines will appear.
then there is a 3rd option, and i will briefly describe that too.
