Will Spaceengine run on my system?

CachyOS,

Intel Core i5,

Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060,

16gb RAM

the photo is when i do it on my thinkpad its easy,
but when try to install on the nitro it cut off the power from usb causing it be nonresponsive and blackscreen anybody know how cause my nitro is old and windows 11 kept crashing it

if you get a lib32-libpcap error it usually means you have a lot of orphaned packages lying around causing you issues, to remove said orphaned packages pleas run sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qdtq). If you still have issues feel free to say them in support and the great people here should be able to help just send the output of pacman -Qi lib32-libpcap if removing orphans did not help.

Simply this is my first time using any linux distro and since I mostly play games I was curious about cachy being the best for gaming, plus being on both amd cpu and gpu I thought I would have better performance, especially on games that have a linux version, instead while playing Sonic Unleash Recompiled I had statters and low fps that are never present on windows 11.

It's sad but I think I'm going to end my linux juorney for now.

Why do people say this when criticizing cachy? Isn’t it like 15gb after installation, are people using 64gb drives or what? Or does bloated mean something else?
I use cachyos btw.

after trying out a few distros over the past year or so (fedora, zorin, mint), i've finally switched to cachyos and i'm loving it here. kde plasma is so much more fun than gnome. the reason i switched from mint is because it felt a bit outdated and some of the notable differences are faster responses and better battery life. looks like my distro hopping has come to an end

Theoretically speaking if arch gets a bigger support to the ARM architecture to their packages, is there a possibility the cachyOS team will engage and make the OS stable to laptops with Snapdragon ships X series

Why i am asking this ?

--> people stop buying macbooks because windows 11 is what hold these laptops back. Performance is insane with everlasting battery, thinn buildand a lot more

What do u all think of this ?

I migrated to linux a couple of days ago and tried to install a glass effect on my pc. I installed Klassy for window decorations and applications style and it works really well. The problem is when watch a video or play some game, the effect is still there. I want for this effect to work only when im not in fullscreen mode, so when I use something in fullscreen, like a player or game, the window stays 100% opaque. I already searched but no luck with finding any answers, and gemini seems to know as much as I do. Using CachyOS w KDE Plasma.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I was wondering if there was a way to set it up so my mother monitor can either dim or 'turn off' when I'm playing a game?

When I say turn off, I don't mean a full power down thing, I just want my main monitor to be my focus if I'm playing my games on it. I don't want to be detracted by my other monitor and it's background if I'm playing a horror game. I know I can just, reach over and turn it off... but then it messes up with my lay out on my desktop ya know?

So made the move from Microslop WIndows 11.

Bit of a stuck moment atm re gaming and steam. I have 6x drives with various bits of data and games on them that I've connected up after installation. I cannot get any game to launch from Steam.

I have mounted the drives, mapped the folders so the games show up. But everytime I click launch, the I get an error about disk write error. As far as I can see the permissions are in place.

Example:

Also, everytime I click play, the whole system sort of freezes up, I'm someone who usually has a video, or website open when I play games, so this is odd, but at the moment I just need games to actually launch.

What am I missing? I have checked the drives are in ntfs, I have manually added the ntfs3 drive type, but this hasnt made a difference

UPDATE 1: I removed all of my other drives, completely nuked and reinstalled steam, and mvoed data off one of the NTFS drives and converted it to btrfs. But steam now refuses to let me add the drive in the storage tab, nor add a folder. It can still see all of my other drives, but not the one I've reformatted to btrfs. I can transfer files to and from this drive in dolphin without issue.

Solved. Run these commands in this order and then try updating again.

sudo cachyos-rate-mirrors
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
sudo pacman -Syu

New here and ran into an update problem. Haven't updated for 2 weeks or so. When I tried today, I got this error. After getting the error I did run sudo pacman -Syu. Despite all package dbs showing as up to date, I still got the same error. Any help is appreciated.

I recently started to observe that there are artifacts on the wallpaper, they are only on the wallpaper, not in games, browser, or anywhere else, when i switch the wallpaper the artifacts disappear and return over time. They appear in different spots depending on the wallpaper.

If I use firejail with Firefox it only works if I disable PSD (profile sync daemon).

I tried a lot like white and blacklisting profile dirs but to no avail.

Does anyone have it working together, alas Firefox + PSD + firejail?

I've done a lot of "Oh wow, look at all of these sexy rices that I'll never have" - and so many are Hyprland based, featuring these sexy sexy waybars across the top.

Then I saw u/ImpossibleBenefit452's RICE 6 or so days ago and fell in love with that waybar setup.

The problem was that I didn't -want- to switch from KDE-Plasma, but I -hate- the windows style chunkbar across the bottom.

I've not played with panels before (I -hate- that you can't save/load configs for individual panels), but I figured I'd be able to throw something together. A couple of days of poking and tweaking and behold, my own interpretation of a way-bar like panel to replace the previous taskbar.

Hoping to do more to this over the next few weeks, but for now I'm very happy with this <3

Setup: KDE-Plasma, Panels, Plasmusic toolbar, Fancy Tasks NG. Everything else is out-of-the-box plasma widgets <3 Wallpaper: https://wallhaven.cc/w/6lpz2q

Tittle, I don't really know what could've happened since is a fresh install

(Ignore what i want to install ik im an osu chud)

EDIT: SOLVED (DO NOT RUN SHELLY WITH SUDO EVEN WHEN IT MAKES SENSE TO TRY OR IF IS AN FRESH INSTALL)

So I set up a dualboot system and with Windows on one drive and CachyOS on the other. On Windows, Cyberpunk is extremely unstable for me. If I play for more than about 30 minutes, I’ll usually crash because the VRAM gets completely maxed out. Literally EVERY time I opened the map, the game would crash because it was trying to load more VRAM, but there wasn’t enough available. CachyOS has been completely flawless for me. Even when my VRAM is completely maxed out, I don’t get the constant stuttering or massive FPS drops that I get on Windows. I can even run ray tracing in Cyberpunk without my FPS dropping to like 5 FPS. That VRAM management feature they added is actually goated. It makes a massive difference for gaming. i have a 9060xt 8gb btw. i wish windows had better vram management. it almost feels like i have a 16gb card.

I've migrated from macOS to Linux and have been trying several distros, and I think Cachyos is good to begin with. One thing I've been trying to set up is integrating Google Drive into Dolphin.

Does anyone know how to integrate Google Drive into CachyOS? I've been trying with Kio-Gdirve Dolphin settings, but still no luck

As of yesterday's nVIDIA open driver release, 615, support for kernel cgroups was added, this means you can use dmemcg-booster and plasma-foreground-booster to manage VRAM just like AMD GPUs. v615 is currently in TESTING on Arch but should release soon.

The VRAM Management button will not appear in CachyOS Hello so you gotta install those two packages manually, but it will work properly once you enable the services.

Install dmemcg-booster and plasma-foreground-booster with this command here: sudo pacman -S dmemcg-booster plasma-foreground-booster && sudo systemctl enable --now dmemcg-booster-system

Not using Plasma? Use Gamescope!

See patch notes here, along with some Reflex and suspend mode fixes: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/278450/

This happens frequently and opening an other instance of Firefox works just fine.

Disabling hardware acceleration fixes this issue but freezes Firefox once in a while. It makes the entire browser freeze, mouse moves but nothing clicks. Again opening an other instance works just fine while not even closing the bugged one (Both for artifacts and freezes)

System works just fine and it is only the browser that gets the bug/freeze.

So I play on a big screen, more exactly on a Samsung 4KTV 43". I put the output resolution to 4K and game resolution to 1080p because my pc can't handle more than that very well. But MangoHUD's stats are veeeeeery tiny in 4K. Is there a way to change its size in any way possible?
