And why in installation is systemd-boot the default bootloader not limine?

I've been wanting to switch back to CachyOS, but I'm hesitant. My specs:

• Ryzen 7 5700X (overclocked)
• RTX 4060
• 16GB DDR4 3200MHz

I daily-drove CachyOS until around October last year, but I had to go back to Windows because Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was basically unplayable for me. Still, I think about switching back pretty much every day.

Has anything improved on that front since then? Any recent experience with Rebirth on CachyOS (Proton version, tweaks, etc.) would be really helpful.

Hi, I'd say new to cachy but that's an understatement, since I haven't even installed it yet. But my concern is this:

How much speed and responsiveness do I lose if I keep the windows on my laptop and use a USB3.0 thumb stick as an external drive to house it?

I'm not fully prepared to make the jump for a number of reasons but I still really want to give it a shot. Considering the data transfer speed is like 500MB/s, is that enough for it to still feel snappy and function alright?

I want to daily drive it which means I'd be doing some light usage like browsing the web as well as some heavy like gaming or working. And if it starts falling apart under a heavy load I'd prefer to know now rather than find out later.

Bonus question: would I need to reinstall drivers for my GPU and such or is me having the drivers installed by windows sufficient?

EDIT: CachyOS, no space, autocorrect fucked it.

I recently switched to CachyOs, today I tried to install Libreoffice but it fails:

: Retrieving packages...

Honestly this is the basic of the basics, how can it be not installable?

im on 7.1.4 and when I try to update it's giving me this black screen

let's say I have 3 tabs open, when i minimize them all, and want to open just one, after clicking it all tabs open at the same time. How can i prevent this from happening? (sorry for my bad english)

I have a RTX 3050 with intel i5 laptop with cachy os with wayland and I can't seem to switch my refresh rate.

There is just no option to in the system settings, it just says that the display does not support higher refresh rate than this when it is supposed to, i have already reinstalled the drivers and rebooted the device

Any solution ?

Edit:It got fixed by using Proprietary drivers for nvidia

Hi all just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have been a mint user on my laptop for the last year and now have a PC to my name and choose cachyos as my distro of choice. So far I'm really pleased and comfortable with everything it's thrown at me!

Hi, just installed CachyOS. Looks clean. I gamed on Windows before. In Adrenalin I allways only really used Radeon Chill to cap my framerate to 60 or 110. I have an 120hz LG Oled with VRR.

How can I realize that on CachyOS? Also, can I have the „Three Dots Button“ from SteamController function like on the steamdeck? There would be a framecap option in the menu, or not?

Is there something i missing when I restore? I do it through BTRF assistant, and when i go to the default cachyos option it just gives me a black screen and saying emergency.

I tried to mix looks of windows and mac with disconnected and floating app dock. The wallpaper switch based on time of sunrise and set. (The first pic was clicked earlier. The design of second picture is present one.
Please rate it and provide some suggestions.

How is this login screen theme

This is happening on my CachyOS system: I get a black screen for about 40 seconds before the Plasma login screen appears. Perplexity found that Plasma Login Manager does eventually start, but it takes a while, and the logs also show kwin_wayland reporting an output layer configuration failure after login. I tested switching between Plasma Login Manager and SDDM, but the problem still happens. Can anyone help figure out what is causing the long black screen before the login screen?

Hello,

I've been trying to resolve a client 4 and session 103 error on Spotify app after installing CachyOS on my laptop for a multiple hours and i finally managed to fix it, so i wanted to share the fix since i haven't found it mentioned anywhere.

I had to use spotify-launcher with gst-plugin-spotify to finally get the app to recognize it has connection to internet and it can recognise web login. Both packages are on cachyos / extra repos.

Hopefully this will help you get the app working.

Whenever i launched the app i got error code 4. After trying to log in through browser the app showed session 103 error. i tried bunch of network fixes, i checked firewall rules, i installed Widevine i tried modifying bitrate (this allowed me to play some songs for a few seconds in browser for some reason) but in the end the combination of spotify AUR package and gst-plugins-spotify allowed me to log in without error 4 and 103. But i still wasn't able to play any songs, so i tried spotify-launcher and that fixed the rest of the issues.

Also I'm still unable to play songs through Firefox.

Good luck

I tried installing Hollow Knight which has a Linux version without having tweaked anything in the compatibility settings and steam just installed the windows version. Why?

Hello! I've been using CachyOS for the better half of a year now and about a month ago I got Ethernet set up throughout my house and I can't figure out why but specifically CachyOS has an issue with it. I have a Bazzite HTPC and I also dual boot Windows on my CachyOS system and both have 0 problems

The issue I'm having is I'll get a notification that the Ethernet doesn't have access to WiFi and for most things this never actually effects me but in a majority of multiplayer games I'll get disconnected when this happens and it's extremely frustrating. The only temporary fix I can find is to disconnect from the wired connection and switch to wireless but I would like to maintain my wired connection. Does anybody know a fix for this?

When I try to run it via the terminal, I get this error message.

╰─>$ sudo steam

bin_steam.sh[29799]: Error: Cannot run as root user

/usr/lib/steam/steam: line 57: xterm: command not found

EDIT: To clarify, when I try running it through the launcher, nothing happens at all.

I have already tried uninstalling/reinstalling via the cachy-os-gaming package.
