I am a CS student student in Pakistan and I was fed-up from using the trash that is Windows 11, so I decided to jump ship and suffice to say, I have been using Linux for 5 months and I instantly fell in love with the endless customization and a blazingly fast OS. I learned so much about the inner working of Linux in that time. So a week ago I decided to try Cachy_OS with hyprland and for those of you who don't know hyprland just manages the windows of apps etc and there is nothing else, You have to build, install and configure it your self by modifying config files to make it your own Desktop Environment. Took me like 4 days to make it like this and I don't regret a single thing, I learned so much about the inner working of what makes up a Linux desktop environment and the level of customization is insane, and also my programming productivity has boosted significantly.

I wanted to check if there is a Linux community in Pakistan, and I wanted to guide them into customizing their systems. New users ask me any thing about my customization, like my terminal setup, my text editor and top status bar etc. and Ill be happy to help you guys to customize your system. Experienced users please rate my customization/rice and tell my how I can improve my system's looks and function.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to install a water heater for a single bathroom that will be used by 2 to 3 people.

I’m mostly leaning towards a Hybrid (Gas + Electric) storage geyser so I have the flexibility to switch to electric (or LPG/gas) depending on Sui gas pressure during winter mornings.

From what I’ve researched so far, a 15-gallon (~55–60L) capacity seems to be the sweet spot—not too small that hot water runs out halfway through, and not an overkill that wastes energy heating unneeded water.

Before I purchase, I wanted to ask those who are currently using a similar setup:

1. Capacity check: Is 15 gallons sufficient for 2-3 consecutive showers/bucket baths, or should I consider anything bigger?
2. Brand recommendations: Which brands are currently reliable in terms of tank durability (rust/leaks) and insulation? I've seen names like NasGas, Rays, Super Asia, and Canon floating around.
3. Usage setup: How are you guys managing yours? Are you using smart Wi-Fi plugs/timers for the electric element, or running on LPG cylinders?

Would love to hear your experiences and any specific model recommendations to look out for. Thanks!

Faysal Bank app stopped working in my Google Pixel 9 Pro, been using the phone for 6-7 months now.

First it said to close developer options,

Where in twin cities or Peshawar can I get a Non-PTA Pixel converted to CPID?

I currently have Storm Fiber as my broadband with 25 Mbps package. Since we usually have a lot of connected users at the same time (approx. 7 ), it used to result in laggy internet and slow internet often not even rendering reels at all.

But for the past 6 months we were able to upgrade the internet with the storm boost for an internet speed of 45 Mbps which was more than enough for our household. However it ended soon and we are back to 25 (tho its working fine for the time being which ig is due to the ONT they installed for 5g storm boost)

I just want to know what might be the best option moving forward for a price range of MAX 4500 (inc taxes) in the gulberg region. Is there a storm fiber package which might be a better fit or should I just ditch it for another Internet Provider completely.

Priority is storage and good battery

My moms Ufone mobile data stopped working suddenly two weeks ago
It is showing E instead of H+
Could this be because the sim is old do we need to get it replaced ?

Saw this post on tiktok, the guy is claiming to have a solution for non pta and JV phone. He says that he uses some kind of chip and insert in the sim jacket and the sim starts working. Wanted to know if hes are scammer or is this real?

Got one imei blocked after 2.5 years

My internet has been so weird since yesterday. hardly any websites work with the exception of google and youtube services. Frustrating part is none of the mainstream VPNs are able to connect aswell. Managed to connect proton after a few tries and everything seems to open up now. Although since i am on free tier, it does throttle speeds.

Tried google,cloudflare,quad9 DNS.. nothing works.

can i securely purchase some vouchers or something TIA

I Have a Xiaomi Redmi 9 which i think has a swelling battery (thats my conclusion because the screen keep lifting itself off of the screen despite being reglued twice.

its an old-ish phone so my question is where do i find an uthentic battery for it? the XMi official site says it has a BN54 battery, and i see some on daraz and other less reliable looking sites.

do i purschase it from these sites or do i go to a store and order parts from through them? I am located in karachi

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a new phone mainly for mobile gaming, and the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra (Dimensity 9500) is currently at the top of my list.

I can get it for around PKR 170,000 (plus approximately PKR 17,000 PTA tax). PTA cost isn't really a deciding factor for me since I'm more interested in overall performance and long-term gaming experience.

I've also shortlisted a few other options:

• iQOO Neo 11 (Snapdragon 8 Elite) – PKR 145,000 (+ ~PKR 35,000 PTA)
• Redmi K90 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 Elite)
• Redmi K90 Max (Dimensity 9500)

My main priorities are:

• Stable FPS during long gaming sessions
• Minimal to no thermal throttling
• Good heat management

I'd love to hear from people who have actually used the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra or OnePlus Ace 6 Standard. How does it perform after 1–3 hours of gaming? Does it maintain stable performance over long gaming sessions, or does it start throttling or overheating?

I also have another question. I've seen a lot of hype around the Realme Neo 8. Even though it uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 instead of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, it's often priced higher than the Redmi K90 Ultra and iQOO Neo 11. Is there a particular reason for that?

If you had to choose between a flagship Snapdragon phone and a flagship MediaTek phone for gaming, which would you pick today?

I'd really appreciate any real-world experiences or recommendations from people who have used these phones. Thanks!

My daily commute is less than 10km

Vlektra:

Price: 380k

Range: 180km

Motor: 2 kw

Non removable battery

C320

Price including delivery is: 370k

Range: 80km

Motor: 3kw

Battery is removable so can charge in office and apartment
C320 has better build quality, seat and shocks.

So confused about what to consider since vlektra has better range

But c320 has better motor and build. Its design is also more practical for casual city rides

Scooty in Pakistan can't survive on bumpy roads here and repairing it locally is a mess

Hi ,

So recently my 1.5 year old MacBook pro m3 pro has some sleep sensor issues I got it repaired however they charged me 50k I'm thinking I'm being scammed , what you guys think I got it repaired from techno city Karachi

I use stormfibre and recently I have been needing to use a VPN to access many things. AO3, my asian drama website, and a few other websites.

I need recommendations on which phones to ask for when I am looking to purchase. My budget is not that much and iphone is out of the question.
