I tried this exact distro but quickly ran into a myriad annoyances, some of which might be skill issues or plasma-specific shit, some of which may be because I have nvidia

>if my refresh rate is set to over 144 Hz, there will be a transparent white bar on the top of my screen that constantly flickers in and out of existence when there's any movement on my screen, can't use my 180 Hz monitor to its full extent
>my 2nd monitor is 1080p and even with screen/corner edges disabled it decides that it is smaller in size, therefore either my upper or lower right screen corner never lets my cursor through (I can pick which one it gets stuck on, yay)
>VRR doesn't work correctly at all and enabling it results in constant screen flickering
>my monitor is a bit fucked anyway when it comes to VRR/resolutions but on windows I can fix it with a specific setup in CRU, haven't found a similar way here
>no tools as good as Afterburner/RTSS
>shit HDR support

Otherwise everything I needed worked pretty perfectly, games all worked out of the box. The white flickering box thing was what made me switch back, really. Maybe it'll be fixed with a future driver. The worst part about Linux is that fixing a lot of problems (and I did need to fix a lot that I didn't mention here) is just "go to this obscure config file and add some obscure line" or fixing write privileges of some other obscure shit. I don't know if there's a good comprehensive way to educate yourself about how the OS is configured and structured but even then I'd imagine it varies wildly from distro to distro. Call me retarded all you want but even this idiot friendly distro is a rocky experience.

>>739175871
Wine is closer to a driver than an emulator
Your Nvidia driver converts graphics calls into a form your graphics card can understand and process
Wine converts windows calls into a form Linux can understand and process

An emulator doesn't do that. An emulator creates an entire fake machine that runs the rom, then iterfaces with your inputs and presents the outputs on your screen

>35 years later it's still a messy buggy annoying os
Maybe if devs would stick together and not make hundreds of splinter distros it would be usable

Has nothing to do with distro. It depends on what software you're using.
MPV is configured using the same way regardless of distro, Dracut is configured using the same way regardless of distro. Distro only determines what software you have installed and how it is configured by default.

Also, CachyOS is not an idiot friendly distro. It's based on Arch Linux which is highly incompatible with idiots. However, unlike Arch Linux where you are forced to learn how the distro works and is configured - you aren't forced to do that on CachyOS, so you have to pray that it works on its own because you don't have adequate knowledge to configure it if it doesn't.

>>739176990

>>739176982
arch base is best base
literally no downside to it with limine and snapshots

CachyOS keeps putting my monitors over each other which duplicates everything across both of my screens. It used to just happen at start-up or when waking from sleep, so I'd just have to go to display configuration and move my shit monitor to the right and set my good monitor as primary... but now it puts them back overlapping with my shit monitor as primary after about 30 seconds.
Also the Bluetooth settings menu doesn't work, I have to systemctl start bluetooth every time I start the computer if I want to use bluetooth devices.
And I'm mildly triggered by the whole Wine prefix thing shitting up my drive directories. Kinda struggling to wrap my head around linux file structure anyway but a bunch of games getting their own "wine prefix" fake C drive long ass file paths is kind of annoying to my autistic self. I was already annoyed with how PC game devs seem to just spin a wheel of stupid fucking places to put save game data and now it's just like twice as bad on linux lol.

You guys spend more time setting up the system than actually using it. Free = shit. Changing the work machines at my job from linux to windows increased productivity by 400%. Get your fucking internet drivers on track!

Cachy isn't doing this, your desktop environment is doing this. 99% of the problems you retards have with Linux are due to using a garbage DE and not even knowing what a DE is
If you want a retard-friendly and pretty DE, use KDE plasma
For Bluetooth, systemctl ENABLE the service. Start just starts it once, Enable makes it always start on boot. Retard

>>739178097

>>739177891
The bluetooth menu doesn't control the service, there is no GUI method in Plasma to control systemd units. That service would never be disabled on a normal system. If you install Fedora or Ubuntu, for example, it will always be enabled.
You're enabling and disabling the Bluetooth functionality in the Plasma settings menu. Not the infrastructure required to provide the functionality. SystemD units are similar to services on Windows, the user doesn't control them nor does the user have adequate privilege to control them without admin elevation.

>>739178336
Why do people hate systemd anyway? I've always been clueless on these subjects

>>739178383
Because it's not Unix enough and does too much.

>>739178383
Some purists are annoyed that software just works while not adhering to some programming conventions.

>>739177891
>What am I enabling in the GUI menu if not the bluetooth service?
Bluetooth connectivity. You can have your service permanently enabled (which allows software to access Bluetooth) and then your software can search, connect, or hide. If your service is disabled then no software is allowed to access Bluetooth at all, it's like you have no Bluetooth antenna on your machine

Linux isn't a unified whole, it's a collection of independent software running on a common kernel. The answer to "why are there so many steps to do this" is almost always that there are multiple parts that need to work together but cannot directly control each other. You'll have a much easier time if you stop thinking in terms of "how do I do X in Linux" and more "how do I do X in [software]"
The software that controls services is Systemd. Once your service is running, there are multiple Bluetooth daemons that can interface with it and provide Bluetooth utilities. The one you're controlling from that menu is KDE's Bluetooth frontend

>>739178383
It's politics
I find Systemd very comfy and useful personally

>>739178648
So what's the explanation for the enable/disable slider being out of sync in that settings window between the top of the window and the sidebar in my screenshot above? Not trying to be a pedantic asshole I'm just wondering if there's just something more I'm missing here because that's one thing that made me think there's just a bug or something, the menu couldn't even stay consistent.

Is cachyOS really good?
I use mint xfce edition.
I do want to try arch for the meme but I’m not sure if cachyOS is retard proof and beginner friendly.
Also will cachyOS be supported for a long time like mint being over a decade old I think?

>>739178593
It's not retarded, the service is just not supposed to be disabled on a system that has Bluetooth support. There's no reason to ever disable it, even if you don't actually use Bluetooth.
Normal people don't go out of their way to disable print spooler in Windows and then wonder why Printers don't work, the same concept is at work here. What is retarded is whatever distro you're using having the service disabled (or you manually disabling it). Whichever. The only distros where it makes sense for it to be disabled are bare bones distros like Arch, Gentoo, Debian server and so on.

>>739178823
I don't know, it's probably confused because the service isn't running. Does it look right when the service is running?

>>739178823
It's broken when you have the service disabled and there is no logic to detect that for one reason or another. Probably because that's extremely abnormal for a desktop system (KDE is a desktop environment).

>>739175578
>It just werks.
So does windows (it also has 0 issues with nvidia drivers). What exactly do I gain by switching to leenux?

Every time I use a custom kernel it makes my i5-5500 Thinkpad act weird, like laggy just browsing and using the desktop. The custom scheduler at work, I can't say I recommend it. But maybe it works better on modern hardware.

>>739179126
>it also has 0 issues with nvidia drivers
Now that is patently not true, everyone has issues with nvidias vibe coded drivers. The only difference is that on Windows AMD is total dogshit too, so nvidia looks ok in comparison.

>>739179149
Changing scheduler isn't hard. You SHOULD fuck with the scheduler if you don't like the responsiveness of your system, it's one of the easiest things to fix

>>739179254
No, I choose from the list the closest match to a gaming-optimized kernel scheduler. My Thinkpad is basically too old now to run Mechwarrior 5 so I tried to squeeze everything out of the hardware that I could. But it just caused lag in window switching (I was using Sway/Hyprland). I never stuck around on CachyOS long enough to investigate further, I just went back to my regular setup.

>>739179254
Swappiness is also a very easy fix for responsiveness, especially on old devices with lower RAM. I assume Cachy has a same default swappiness, but many distros start with something absurd like 50 and it's going to freeze your system solid when you use a lot of RAM

>>739178383
It does too much and ties into too many other systems, which makes it very unsafe and allows it to push for stupid shit like age verification, because you can't just remove the offending systemd easily.
This would be less of an issue if distros just generally supported other init systems, but they don't.

>>739179192
>everyone has issues with nvidias vibe coded drivers
I don't. Haven't used an AMD GPU in like 15 years, btw.

>>739179445
>makes it very unsafe and allows it to push for stupid shit like age verification
It's foss, dude. Hypothetically if that ever happened a fork with that stuff removed would be created instantly. And there are other init systems.

>>739179596
I used Nvidia cards exclusively for almost 30 years. (since 1998) and I was always stuck on old driver versions, even before they started vibe coding the driver which made it even worse.

>>739178835
if you want retard proof arch just wait for steamOS to be formally release for all platforms. you can install it now anywhere already but it's not yet retard proof.

its good that linux remains as an alternative for radeon users. amd gpus might just be the only ones you could buy in the near future since intel seems to have given up

>>739180223
Don't use XFCE. If you really want a barebones DE prefer LXQT or MATE. But Plasma is by far the best choice if you want a fully featured DE with all the comforts

>>739176038

The people who genuinely give a fuck are a fraction of a fraction, so as soon as it starts to tie into Redhatware or the internet (thus becoming kind of mandatory if you want to use that shit), the actual percentage of people being kicked in the dick is vanishingly small, so any protest fork is pretty doomed.
It's also not possible to preemptively create a fork for an unknown security vulnerability caused by systemd's stupidity, like the whole xz thing.

I'm a dumb nigger coming from Windows, and the most experience I've had with Linux is fucking around with my steam deck a little bit. Is this a good distro to really start with, or should I just go for something like Mint or Bazzite. Keep in mind I'm a retard who can use google problems and figure it out myself but I would prefer not to.

>>739182710

cachy has a higher floor but also a higher ceiling

>>739182710
I installed Cachy right then last Sunday coming from zero experience with Linux. I had bought a new SSD to dual-boot Win10 and Cachy.
My first mistake was picking the wrong boot manager, that forced me to manually reorder the booting devices each time I wanted to change. If you ever want to dual-boot Windows and Linux on two separate drives you should use rEFInd as the boot manager.
My second *almost* mistake was not installing the gaming packages right after the install, but you just gotta open the "Hello" window and click "install gaming packages" and it's so efficient it's extremely satisfying.
Otherwise it's pretty hard to make mistakes unless you're severely mentally impaired. Installation and setup happened ver easily and I could even allow myself to tweak things out of instinct, always with the possibility of undoing changes. If you're a retard like me it's likely you'll enjoy Cachy especially if you have the ultra instinct, but because Arch users don't really make the use of their distro accessible to n00bs and Cachy is still somewhat confidential.
It doesn't happen like Windows, there's no "setup.exe", you gotta install packages and copy-paste lines in "Konsole", but otherwise it's pretty easy yeah.
Also, last warning, Windows formats drives in NTFS so your Windows library of games is done with. You gotta reinstall everything from Linux, so don't plan on gaming if you don't also plan on killing your Windows right now. There are workarounds but I'm still a little bit too retarded for that.
Good thing though from Windows there are community drivers to access your Linux install from the other OS so you can drag-drop your files you wanna transfer to Cachy in case you wanna backup things.

Yeah, it's pretty good. If you're ready to study the blade Cachy is a good place to start, it's pretty friendly, there's a community and everything so you're not left behind.

The vast majority of linux discussion online isn't actually genuine and is just people memeing at each other nonsense they've heard years ago.

>>739184785
Retardbro, it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to install Arch without learning something (unless you use Archinstall). Because you can't install it without interacting with various parts of the system and thinking about what you're doing.
I am not, and nobody is, claiming that it makes you an expert on all things Linux. You will however understand more about what you have and what you don't have than if you press next a couple of times - because everything you have is part of a series of deliberate choices that you've made. You will also obtain the basic knowledge of how to rescue a bricked system, which you'd never need to know about unless you use Arch, Gentoo or some other similar distro that is deployed manually.

You having learning disabilities and/or forgetting literally everything that happened is a different problem.

The thing that's really going to fuck you over with dual booting is that windows likes to silently erase the Linux boot manager. Keep a live USB around in case you need to reinstall the boot manager at a moment's notice

I've been playing GW2 on Linux for years, skill issue

>>739186026
I still think Windows is better for gaming than Linux, especially on the compatability and accessibility front. But yeah, whatever remaining downsides there are are dwarfed by the upsides in user experience on the desktop. Linux is now good enough, and that's all I wanted.

Speaking as someone in a somewhat similar situation (started using Cachy two weeks ago, Windows refugee). The installer does make sure every important function works without issues and from what I've tested whatever doesn't run out of the box in Steam will run with game-performance %command% completely fine. But the day-to-day usage will require adaptation / tinkering to Arch's quirks, AUR downloads and what not, and frankly you're not going to eternally ignore the terminal either even with Cachy giving you beginner-friendly tools.
Took me around some time to get used to it and I have still no idea why games on Wine ignore my capslock and have things working exactly like before and I do think it's worth it but there are *probably* more retard-proof options. Up to you if you don't mind a trial by fire.

Honestly wouldn't be so bad if searching for tips / troubleshooting of Linux-related stuff wasn't such a fucking nightmare. Even without accounting everyone using 89 distros people seem to enjoy not actually answering questions.

This is always the obvious answer but today I noticed something that heavily reinforced this beyond anything I've seen before.

I went to check the compatibility ratings for Forza 6 on protonDB and almost every report has major issues or can't get the game to work at all. I figured it was the lack of gamescope as I also had issues running Forza 5 before without using gamescope and none of the reports I've read seemed to have GS in their launch params but then I install it myself and tried running it with just a standard wayland enabled param and mangohud, it works perfectly with no issues in fact it works even better than before since the last time I had to install the XBox app on my phone in order to invite friends (the ingame Xbox overlay would not work)

Why this specific example in particular? This was exactly 1 hour before the game launch, so I was still reading reports of everyone that paid for early access. Most of those reports were from Cachy and Bazzite users.

Subhuman mongs that actually pay extra to play a few days early also using the most shilled flavor of the month crap and can't even set them up properly in spite of being marketed as "easy to set up". It's absolutely embarassing and I hope I never have to deal with someone like that in real life ever.

You can fuck with symlinks if you want. Not sure why you'd care to, but you can. Also, what's going to fuck you over when dual booting is corrupting the filesystem. Moving a NTFS drive between Linux and Windows results in it being corrupted and needing chkdisk 100% of the time from my experience.

>>739176547
wow, cachyOS existed 35 years ago!?

>>739187005
Hm, I thought I remembered symlinks between NTFS and non-NTFS being fucked as the reason steam doesn't like launching games from NTFS on Linux but I guess I'm wrong. Either way, NTFS mostly works except the edge cases where it doesn't and it's going to annoy you to hell when you encounter them

>>739180394
my DAC works better in Linux than in Windows kek
current year and Windows doesn't support dynamic sample rate switching on demand without jumping through hoops meanwhile Linux supports it from by default

>>739175578
I tried it very briefly and it seemed fine but there wasn't a one-click way to make it behave like SteamOS so I installed Bazzite. Yes my new tits are coming in nicely.

>>739187273
That link is to the same NTFS partition, I didn't try NTFS -> BTRFS back there. I did try that now, that works too.
Although keep in mind I'm using ntfs3 not ntfs3g which most people tend to use. I couldn't tell you if this is different in ntfs3g, but I suspect it would be.

how come normies are getting baited into using Arch Linux? kek
didn't arch linux and gentoo used to be a rite of passage for /g/ users due to how difficult to install it was?
How come Fedora (Bazzite or Nobara) hasn't become more popular among normies since it is more user friendly and a bit harder to break? (yet having relatively updated packages)

>>739176904
umm sweatie, unused ram is wasted ram...

>>739187612
Arch isn't very difficult to install (and it used to be much easier to manually install before Archinstall, because the guide was more thorough back then) so calling it a rite of passage seems silly.
Gentoo, maybe. That one is kinda miserable to install. It's like installing Arch but not having any of the automation shit.

>>739186127
Thanks for the tip. I have secure boot disabled just in case, I see re-enabling it fucked Linux up for some users and I don't see a use for it so... Right now I'm extremely happy with rEFInd. I'm on Windows 10, I don't think I mentioned it. It's not Windows 11 cancer, I'm European, we only have security updates until October this year now. Hopefully it won't delete the boot manager but I haven't read any issues coming from it.
Talking about NTFS, I read a guide on GitHub about running games on an NTFS drive from Linux which could cause issues. Thing is I have one SSD for Windows 10 (NTFS), one SSD for Cachy (btrfs), and a third SSD for my games library that was formated through Windows (so NTFS as well). Apparently with a bit of tweaking it's possible to access this third drive from Linux but it would most definitely cause issues. That's why I'm not down to play on Cachy right now. I have 250GB drives for the OS, a 4TB for the games, I don't wanna mess things up right now. I'll play a couple of light games on Cachy since my storage space is not super large just to test things out but once Windows 10 kicks the bucket I'll format the huge SSD and switch to Linux permanently.

Death before Windows 11.
Oh man I'm so excited to kill Windows once and for all because I'll have the Linux drive, the games drive, and a third SSD to store all the music I wanna make.
Cachy OS is a good OS for one, but also an amazing work environment, the Linux workflow incentivises content creation much more.

only retards use cachy
cachy doesnt just work, arch does, and cachy does as a result. cachy is just a gui installer and configuration on top of arch
a subhuman retard will go "well why not just use cachy then" because they have 0 understanding of risk management
youre adding configuration drift from upstream arch and relying on some hobbyists to setup and control your computer. youre trusting them to compile the kernel and a lot of other software too. open source doesnt fucking matter when youre using binaries. its okay when its a large, well respected and monitored team, not some gaymer hobbyist distro team
tons of retards are trying cachy and going "woa it just works" because arch would too. so just put your two brain cells together and follow along with the wiki, it takes 10 minutes in general, an hour your first time.
if thats too hard for you you shouldnt be using an arch based distro at all. cachy is not some enchanted piece of software that magically gets rid of upstream issues

Or you don't want the exact configuration that CachyOS uses. There's that too. Trying to fix CachyOS is infinitely harder than installing Arch correctly in the first place.

Why is linux so weird? Like you have to jump through all these hoops to do basic shit. Why not make something as easy as Windows but open source.

Huh? Have you used Windows? On a fresh PC you put the cd in (or whatever) it auto detects it and installs and then you're on the desktop and you double click anything you want to use. Brain completely off the entire time.

Linux you have to read a wiki page or watch youtube guides for hours. It's nothing like Windows.

>>739213758
So like Linux? Except that you have to understand that you install things differently
It's not difficult considering that it's a much better and faster practice than downloading shit from random and ad ridden hostile websites

>>739213430
Arch idiosyncrasies never translate into common sense, not pacman, not mkinitcpio. Neither do the modifications to packages like Wine or the kernel for that matter. No matter how you slice it, common sense is the last set of words you can use to describe CachyOS.

If common sense is what you're looking for, anything Arch based is hardly in your interest.

>>739213949
If it wasn't common sense then it wouldn't be eclipsing arch itself
It's serving a plurality of use cases of anyone seeking what arch provides as a base

>>739214039
Windows 11 isn't common sense and that's infinitely more commonly used than CachyOS.
People using software has very little connection to how common sense the chosen default configuration is.
The user cares about exactly two things: "Can I engage in my specific use case?" and "How hard is this to achieve?". Beyond that it's a matter of social awareness, and CachyOS has plenty of it.
Arch, without any shadow of a doubt, fails in the "how hard is this to achieve" aspect, and most people don't have use cases that are blatantly harmed by any of CachyOS choices. Even if something goes wrong (for example encountering graphical artifacts), they wouldn't know to blame CachyOS unless they also tested the same software on Arch/Ubuntu/whatever and did not encounter the same issue.

You will encounter CachyOS specific issues though, unfortunately.
Like that one guy who was manually starting his bluetooth service lmao. Although that specific one is minor.

>>739178383
It's insecure as fuck as it becomes increasingly spaghetti, the guy behind it glows, it's bloated as hell opting to take several pages from Windows' book as far as loading shit you don't want or need, and as more and more people flee Win to the easy distros(which all use it), it's only going to become more attractive to hackers as a target. If your distro uses it, all you've done is traded one pile of Windows problems for another wearing a fake moustache.

>>739187005
You probably ran into the hiberfile.sys thing. Windows does some fuckery to a drive when you have sleep mode enabled that leaves the file handles "dirty", which is to say the drive thinks it's everything is about to be accessed. If you disable sleep mode it'll undo that.

>>739175578
Is it just like every other arch distro where if you don't update for a month it'll destroy itself the next time you update? That's always fun.

Online discourse and pripoganda. I don't even hate trannies, but due to autism they are so goddamn easily to manipulate and control. Their autism fuels their delusions. I have never met a single Trans person who wasn't also autistic.

It's all my NTFS drives. I don't have hibernation or sleep enabled at all - that computer where I get my drives from ran 24/7 for years, but without exception all my NTFS drives including ones that have nothing to do with Windows (just storage) get corrupted and eventually require chkdisk if mounted to both Windows and Linux. Sometimes I can even mount it in Linux for a while, then after some random period it bricks and needs chkdisk.
I've been mounting a NTFS drive on Linux (and WinPE once for chkdisk nearly a year ago) exclusively for close to a year and there are 0 issues with that one.

Normal windows 100% does some fuckery no matter what. Or more like the Linux driver just can't deal with whatever state Windows leaves the drive in reliably and that eventually results in FS corruption.

Last time i tried switching over to their repos i got graphical issues when i used nvidia-open.

I got no such problems now when i am using the Arch Testing repos (all of them) everything just works.

It doesn't try to follow the failed unix philosophy.

It's not just arch but with a different installer.

They do provide their own packages for a lot of stuff (for better or worse).

But as of now you can switch between repos without too much difficulty.

Now now that's not the proper GNUtitude all windows converts shall be given a chance to present before the Moment Of GNUth and be cast off into fiery hellscape should they fail

The right of passage for every wintroon is to INSTALL GENTOO. It'll filter out 99% of the retards, and the 1% that do make it, will have a deeper appreciation for it.
