My apologies Girtablulu for the late reply.
I had done a full update cycle and rebooted. Reboot works flawlessly. However at boot (I like to have the 5 seconds to choose what to boot) I had an added entry. I was ####ing around at the time and noticed it too late, but it is a simple kernel update that hadn't been included in the ISO I downloaded from the website the same day. Hadn't thought anything of it at the time but it brought me confusion later on as I was trying to make
a package from source (and thus had installed system.devel) and it couldn't find the build folder for the current kernel (which had just been updated and I guess deleted). I rebooted once again, and once I noticed it was a simple kernel update; I had figured that if I needed the boot option acpi=off
for the previous kernel it might not now, but alas that didn't work, however make
now did work. So I went 'round the internet and saw an article/video about:
One of which was the intel-microcode
package. I installed this through the Software Center; thought to myself: "What the hell" and removed acpi=off
from the boot-line immediately the same way I added it because I was incredibly sure it'd work. Rebooted. And it did.
Now about the splash-screen. I saw on that very same video the guy booting with a round Solus logo on a black background. I thought it looked nice and, well: "complete". I don't have that, instead I look at a black screen until I get an image for logging in. I wonder what I can do to solve this, if at all solvable (more of a QoL thing tbh, but still).
The shutdown is another weird thing. If at any moment I hit the power button the computer just cuts power. That's nice. But if I want it to shutdown in a "well-mannered" fashion (via the option on the power-logo), it turns the display output off (seemingly immediately) and leaves the computer on. Just thinking. About... Stuff. even if I have nothing open and just booted to the login screen. Shutdown from there is the same. Just stays there. Mind you this is with both the old and new kernel regardless of the acpi=off
setting (and system.devel
packages had no influence on this).
