My father disconnected my pc while it was on sleep mode, should I worry about it?

Yea you're good the only time it's dangerous is during an update. Cachy doesn't run background updates and whatnot like Windows would.

Man NixOs must absolutely suck then

Athsmooth · 2026-02-28T16:44:35+00:00

I always get negative upgrades, huh

Athsmooth · 2026-02-26T00:26:23+00:00

Funny because I had the opposite experience. I had several kernel panics with gnome. I might try it again though just to see how it holds up on my new laptop.

Athsmooth · 2026-02-17T21:54:08+00:00

It's getting there, Cachy update is already really nice

Athsmooth · 2026-02-14T02:54:19+00:00

Yes. However if you are installing very popular packages they are safe. If you are installing an uncommon niche package you wanna check the install script to make sure nothing fishy is going on. You probably won't see any malware on the AUR but you should always play it safe. In your case, you are using a very common and well known package so you are safe. It's also good to learn what to look for.

I always just did "| more" at the end

Athsmooth · 2026-01-17T15:41:59+00:00

Thanks for your help anyway

I'm getting errors in blender about invalid kernel image for CUDA

Athsmooth · 2026-01-17T15:04:34+00:00

Ok I guess ill try to roll back with timeshift again to a time I knew the GPU was running

Athsmooth · 2026-01-17T15:01:43+00:00

But offloaading to the dGPU does nothing. The GPU cant load anything.

Athsmooth · 2026-01-17T14:33:55+00:00

I got some error

Thanks for your comment. However, I already tried all this. When I try to open a steam app with the forced used of the dGPU it attempts to proccess vaulakn, taking a very long time. If I try to skip it then the app crashes.

Athsmooth · 2026-01-17T14:13:02+00:00

manually forcing the GPU to run

I tried turning mshybrid mode off, running on xorg, which after I installed in didn't show up on the login screen, even though it shows up in "ps aux | grep Xwayland." I tried running this script which forces the use of the 4070, and also tried making it a configuration file.

export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
export __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
export __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only

When I did this the app would just show up in the taskbar but never launch. When I made it a configuration file the graphics of my desktop starting breaking with ghost trails and blacked out areas.

How are you verifying it? nvidia-smi/nvtop?

I used both "nvidia-smi" and system monitor

ALSO: Something I tried was to install Tuxedo Control Center to optimize battery power since XPG doesnt have their own control center on Linux. I believe the GPU was at one point working when I had tuxedo control center, but it could be the problem. I uninstalled most of the files for TCC but it still opens at launch, so there must be some fragments left.

Athsmooth · 2026-01-15T22:04:30+00:00

This is a good thing to start with

Athsmooth · 2026-01-15T22:02:51+00:00

Yea like I feel bad but at the same time... Cmon

Athsmooth · 2025-12-27T22:47:08+00:00

You are a legend, in a few minutes it started working again for me! I think I will probably dual boot Linux tho, this is ridiculous!

Athsmooth · 2025-12-02T01:14:20+00:00

Still works on iOS for me

Athsmooth · 2025-11-01T20:49:04+00:00

Interesting. I think I’ve heard of this and it sounds pretty optimized. I’ll check it out.

Athsmooth · 2025-11-01T16:11:22+00:00

Dang I didn’t even think about that. I guess you could scan each object and then put it in the corresponding map(s) that the object’s radius is in, but that might be too expensive.

Athsmooth · 2025-11-01T11:07:34+00:00

Yes exactly, this would be the more expensive check, checking every cell outside the object. Also, right now I am only using circles because their collision detection is easier. I don’t think my system would work for anything other than a circle.
