I installed ifuse and tried to start it using "modprobe fuse" but I get the error
modprobe: FATAL: Module fuse not found in directory /lib/modules/5.16.8-artix1-2
I looked around and I could not find any solutions. My kernel version is 5.17.4-artix1-1. Is the only solution to downgrade the kernel to 5.16.8-artix1-2?
Try linux-zen and linux-zen-headers
sudo pacman -Sy linux-zen linux-zen-headers
or
linux-lts and linux-lts-headers
sudo pacman -Sy linux-lts linux-lts-headers
You could compile your own kernel (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel/Traditional_compilation). It takes around an hour to two hours once you have configured it, but then you have a kernel that fits your machine.
Fun fact: This was considered the first thing to do after installation in the old days, when Internet wasn't available or fast as today, and installation was done from CD-ROM.
I remember it well, and I still have cold sweats thinking about it. :)
I did this and modprobe ifuse worked but upon reboot, the new kernel would disable my internet. So I had to revert to the previous kernel.
A new issue arose: libimobiledevice no longer identifies my phone even though dmesg indicates that the phone connects.
I now have to figure that part out.
And what happens with :
sudo pacman -Sy linux-lts linux-lts-headers
In easy fixes, that's all I see.
Experts may be able to tell you more.
Moreover above, strajder suggested to you: "You could compile your own kernel. ".
