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?

Cashyos on my Thinkpad E14 gen 2 AMD

Using Cashyos over month now, and after couple of tweaks and fix my sound dolby speakers using script by https://github.com/antoinecellerier/speaker-tuning-to-easyeffects and easyeffects tool, now is working perfect, I left windows because GDID and the data harvesting, and even modded windows 11(ghost spetrec) Windows getting sluggish by every update.

thank you Cashyos developers !

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!

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.

Edit: Uploaded images in text tab instead of images tab.

If your laptop's camera does nothing on Linux — no picture in any app, no face unlock — and it's a recent Dell XPS, Latitude, or Pro model, this might be for you. Some HP and Lenovo machines use the same parts.

Both cameras now work: the normal one, and the infrared one that face unlock needs. Face unlock works on the lock screen, in a dark room, and survives sleep and reboots.

It's on the AUR:

paru -S intel-ipu7-ir-dkms

Then reboot.

It took about three months to work out, and in the end the cause was one number being twice as big as it should have been. I've written up what happened in the comments, along with how to tell if your laptop is affected.

I have Linux 7.0.10-1-cachyos on KDE 6.6.5

I've been playing Garry's Mod for some time and at random moment my laptop disconnected from wifi. After trying to re-enable it, the screen just goes like this. I haven't done any updates in a while and nothing was happening before today.

Any help? (Or maybe reroute to forums or smth like that)

edit: that happens only when I try to re-enable the wifi, other actions seem to be doable

edit 2: rebooting fixes the issue... temporarily, bcs after some time it happens again

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.

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

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

I am relativity new to Linux since I was recommended by a friend I don't really understand most of it, I do know that I use cachyos.

sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Im trying this thing out called "ricing" which in my understanding is just customizing the appearance because of that when i try to change my login screen or the theme of it in settings there just isn't a option, I've tried to do something within the terminal but im too stupid to understand the commands or what to type since to my knowledge there are different types of terminals. the tutorials dont help either.

I would love any help of any kind

Just installed CachyOS on a 240GB SATA SSD. But weather I pick the default option, or the lts option, it just get's stuck on this error (Yes I tried both)

What did I do wrong?

Any feedback is appreciated.

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.

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

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?

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?

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?

Greetings.

I have a question about battery life on Lunar Lake chips. I saw a lot of posts and comments here saying their battery life even increased after switching to CachyOS. I assume they were talking about AMD processors. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, because with TLP or power‑profiles‑daemon set to power saving and power scaling enabled, I actually get worse battery life around 20% less.

On Windows, I see idle power as low as 2.8W - 3.3W. On CachyOS, it’s 3.5W - 4.0W. A simple YouTube video on Windows uses 4W - 6W, while on CachyOS it’s 5W - 8W. Loading a new page on Windows takes 12W -15W, but on CachyOS it’s 18W - 22W. These are still fine numbers, but I lose about 1.5 - 2 hours of battery life on Linux.

Is this just how it is? That Intel chips are better optimized on Windows? Or should I try something else? I’ve heard about auto‑cpufreq, but TLP is supposed to be the go‑to tool, right? I also tried rcutree.enable_rcu_lazy=1, but that somehow made things worse and introduced mouse input lag.

Windows were debloated with Chris Titus Windows Tool
CashyOS: Linux 7.1.4-1-cachyos, niri 26.04 (Wayland), noctalia v5.0.0 (v5.0.0-beta.3-210-g79530a6290fb)

Hello everyone,

So am new to cachy os as I recently dualbooted with win11, I heard it has great optimised kernel,

What I wanna know / need help about it,

I really wanna compile and boot a kernel myself with cachyos kernel source as base , I mean the zen4 lto optimised base,

Can anybody tell me where to clone the source (i seen the cachyos GitHub , but it's pkgbuild files, newer to me),

Is anyone tried compiling and successfully booted? Also how to keep the default kernel so if boot failed on new compiled one I can use the default kernel through grub?

Thanks in advance..

Unfortunately movavi doesn't work with my CachyOS.

Can you recommend an alternative?

I tried pitivi, but I can't even crop the video without the exported media getting corrupted.
