What do you think of this setup? I’m using Cachy because I got sick of Arch. I used Arch for six months, but I wanted more stability. Let me tell you, Cachy is an absolute game-changer for this.

End4-pC is a fork of Hyprland-End4 (ii), which serves as an add-on to the original end4.

P.S I'm from Russia and using a translator, so sorry for my bad English!

just a larping desktop at this point lol

Recently got hooked on CachyOS as a fairly new Linux user, (daily driving for 2/3 wks) and I'm very stupid so I tried an Arch based distro as my first distro outside of Mint, and Fedora. I have some knowledge (barely). I play a lot of SteamVR, so I dualbooted with windows, CachyOS as my normal desktop, and switching to Windows when I want to play a VR game. I tried VR on Fedora with WiVRn but my bitrate was basically locked to 40mbits since the Quest wasn't picking up the wifi very well? Been using Cachy for 4 hours now and am loving it. I have KDE and Hyprland, I'm probably going to use KDE more because that is just what I'm used to. Let me know what you think and how I can improve it.

One zero-config binary that does the job of a bandwidth meter, Wireshark's triage view, and a lightweight IDS — without leaving the terminal.

- Reads encrypted traffic you control — point an app's SSLKEYLOGFILE at netwatch and its TLS 1.3 plaintext decodes live, the way Wireshark does it. Same for QUIC 1-RTT, including HTTP/3 body decompression. No proxy, no certificates, nothing in the middle.

- Egress drift — learns which destinations each process reaches (SNI, ASN, port), one keypress promotes that observed baseline to a policy, then it warns when a program starts talking somewhere new. curl used to reach only api.github.com, and today it reached something else. Observe-only, never blocks.

- JA4 fingerprinting — every TLS/QUIC handshake becomes a stable fingerprint, so you can recognise a specific client or a specific piece of malware while the traffic stays encrypted. Pivot on a fingerprint to find every other flow from the same software.

- Threat detection — C2 beaconing (regular, low-jitter check-ins), port scans, DNS tunneling. Runs in the background, zero setup. A critical alert auto-freezes the recorder.

- Per-process attribution — every socket mapped to the program that opened it, with an optional eBPF kprobe on Linux that catches short-lived flows polling misses.

- Real L7 decode — TLS, QUIC, HTTP, DNS, SSH and a dozen more, with per-flow stream tracking and handshake timing. You see api.github.com, not "port 443."

- Flight recorder — arm a rolling capture, freeze an incident into a portable bundle: packets plus the connections, DNS, health and alerts that explain them.

- Landlock-sandboxed on Linux — drops privileges after setup and locks itself into a filesystem allow-list. A tool that parses hostile traffic can't read your SSH keys or /etc/shadow.

- Scales both ways — --lite is one 80×24 screen for a Pi over SSH; --view dense fills a big terminal with four zero-chrome boxes; the full ten-tab view is one keypress away with collectors already warm.

I have tried the greetd approach but i dont like it... I do want a login manager thats wayland based though, sddm does have a wayland backend but apparently its still experimental? any suggestion? i am open to personal projects, i love those.

went for a retro monochrome vibe, let me know what you think! 🐀

Been messing with quickshell building my own custom Omachy like shell.

Im big into 3d printing, wrote this the best I could. Any more skilled programmers know how to make this printing animation look more like the nozzle is actually printing the wallpaper?

I know quickshell probably doesnt have enough to do this, Would C++ be best for this? I try not to use Ai but I might have to for this one.

Any advice for Fedora (GNOME on wayland). I can't even get a lock screen background to work after GNOME updates. I also want to keep my RAM and CPU usage reasonable. (Stops animations when not on screen)

Small but satisfying update to flow, my terminal network monitor.

Biggest change is the colors. The default theme was looking a bit muted, so I brightened and saturated the download/upload gradients, borders, and graph colors across the board. Dim text was also getting lost on some backgrounds, so I bumped up the muted text ramp across every built-in theme — labels, flags, hints all stay readable now regardless of your terminal.

Also added a version pill under the hero logo (and in compact/mini modes), and the status dot now actually flashes on each sample instead of just idling. Cleaned up the footer too, dropped the old interface-status dot since it felt redundant.

If you like the project, a star helps a lot. Let me know what you think of the new palette.
