Im not really sure if this is what my problem is, but my audio has not been working for a while now. After looking into it a bit it seems like Im having an audio device and codec mismatch. My motherboard has and ALC1200 but ALSA lists my soundcard as an ALCS1200A. A little googling tells me these two are very different, a little more googling tells me these two are exactly the same, so I have no Idea if Im just chasing smoke here or if this is the actual issue. For reference my audio is completely garbled upon entry into OS, it's just click sounds that neither get louder or quieter as you change the volume. If this problem wouldn't be caused by a device codec mismatch that what could the actual problem be?

The AUR is down again, and is saying it was a DDoS attack. Similar to what happened a few months back.

But I wonder what why would anyone direct their time, energy and possibly money to attack Arch. As far as I know, Arch is very politically neutral, and it is not used by many (or any) major corporations. Can anyone think of a reason why someone would do this?

So I'm currently running niri with awww and waypaper for the wallpaper, but I also installed matugen to update the niri colors accordingly. But it's really annoying to have to run matugen image path/to/wallpaper.png every time. Is there a way to make matugen automatically update when the wallpaper is changed? I really like waypaper because i enjoy being able to change my wallpaper with a gui but i can't figure out how to update matugen when using it.
