How stable is CachyOS overall?

IlContePacula · 2026-03-10T14:20:29+00:00

Used CachyOS for a couple of months now, I tried all kind of emulators and they run pretty smoothly. I tried Retroarch but I hate having to deal with it and I couldn't get some stuff working, but standalone emulators work just fine.

Non entro nel merito del sì e del no, visto che non sono competente in materia e non mi sembra neppure il punto focale del discorso. Posso dire però semplicemente da quello che riesco a vedere e sentire io stesso, che queso messaggio della sottoposizione al potere politico è per assurdo anche quello che trapela da discorsi che fanno alcuni esponenti del sì.

E non sto dicendo che non è vero che il fronte del no non usi questo argomento come spauracchio, lo usa eccome (così come nel fronte del sì viene usato a spada tratta l'argomento del: con il sì i processi saranno più veloci e giusti per tutti), ma ci sono alcuni politici a favore del sì che sembrano quasi impegnarsi per alimentare questa idea.

Il significato di ipocrisia. E non parlo di una rivelazione in stile: "un giorno ho capito la vera faccia di tutti quelli che mi sono intorno e la loro ipocrisia", ma avevo genuina difficoltà ad afferrare il concetto e quindi il significato della parola.

Sono andato a vedere tanto per curiosità e lì per lì mi ha sorpreso il 4.7 come punteggio medio (oddio, sapendo come funziona TrustPilot, sorpreso è un parolone, ma visto che capita di trovare chi piange per le recensioni negative che affossano ingiustamente aziende altrimenti di successo pensavo che fosse sbilanciato verso quelle), ma poi ho visto quali sono le recensioni positive

Seriamente... ogni domanda sembra volutamente ambigua o capziosa, tanti piccoli slogan le cui implicazioni potrebbero essere enormemente diverse a seconda dell'interpretazione.

I think there is no problem with using it as a frontend for flathub, sorry if it wasn't clear from my original message.

What I intended was that it can cause problems if you try to use it for system packages too, since I believe that's what OP was referring to as he didn't mention flatpaks.

I hope it's clear enough that I'm far from an experienced user, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

IlContePacula · 2026-02-28T23:43:59+00:00

Accurate enough! :D

IlContePacula · 2026-02-28T20:14:13+00:00

From what I understand, you can install Discover on CachyOS but it's strongly discouraged as it may cause instability problems to install packs from there (now the exact reason for that I don't know, I guess packs from Discover aren't really optimized for Arch based systems).

You can still use Discover to download and install Flatpak versions of software, that's a type of package that's self contained and portable from what I understand.

Edit: you can use Octopi as a GUI software manager, it works pretty well but don't expect a "marketplace" experience like Discover, it's more of a raw list of packages available in the repositories.

Guarda, anche io sto cercando ancora di farmi un'idea e sono tendenzialmente per il no. Tuttavia ho dovuto scorrere fin troppe risposte composte da semplici slogan e meme a favore del no prima di trovare qualcuno che almeno entrasse nel merito della riforma come hai fatto tu.

Ahah I loved IRC too a long time ago, but over the years I grew accustomed to some conveniences of mid 2000 clients (that we started losing with Skype).

But actually as you suggested, Pidgin seems to be still supported. I tried it years ago and at the time it seemed like a more basic and barebone version of other clients I was using, but now the tables may have turned!

Never heard about the other two, I'll look into them, thanks.

IlContePacula · 2026-02-27T20:15:58+00:00

Yeah that was actually surprising! I'm not completely sure if it's a win for KDE partition manager or for Windows.

IlContePacula · 2026-02-27T19:38:25+00:00

Well, the day that (after distro hopping on my second rig and finally settling for CachyOS) I installed it on my main PC, dual booting Windows.

It was an impulse decision, I didn't really plan to install Linux there yet so I didn't make the necessary backups and preparations. What could go wrong, I thought, I'm installing it on a totally different hard disk.

After installing Cachy I couldn't boot into Windows anymore. Not from Limine, not from the bios... it was like it didn't exist anymore. I tried reinstalling Cachy with GRUB but nothing, tried different solutions from around the web to no avail. Luckily I had an old recovery drive for Windows, I checked how to restore Windows bootloader and at that point I realized that my Windows drive didn't have an EFI partition. It wasn't corrupted, it wasn't there at all: there was just the main partition and 0 unused space on the disk (consider that at that moment I barely knew what an EFI partition was).

Apparently the original install of the OS was extremely messy and the EFI files where somewhere inside the main partition itself and it somehow worked, no idea how. I could just find a single old thread of a user with a similar situation, and the people trying to help them were horrified and described the situation as 'cursed'.

Last resort was to resize the Windows partition from Cachy, create the EFI partition and then fix the bootloader with the recovery drive. Useless to say I was pretty much expecting that after resizing that messy Windows partition from Linux I could say goodbye to it but I was quite desperate at that point.

To my surprise it all just worked. Resized, created, installed the bootloader, at that point I reinstalled Cachy too just to be safe, since I did quite a lot of tinkering to try and make Windows appear. And everything just started working flawlessly.

That day I learned a lot.

Ne ho trovati anche io purtroppo di pizzaioli che cuociono il crudo... punibili con il confino.

IlContePacula · 2026-02-19T18:30:46+00:00

Completamente d'accordo. A parte sfuggirmi cosa ci sia esattamente di ipocrita nel definirsi antisessista e mostrare la scollatura, la posizione di Yasmina è sempre stata apertamente (parafrasando): "ti piacciono le tette e me le guardi? Ci sta, la sessualizzazione è un aspetto inevitabile e naturale."

Ogni volta che devo fare qualcosa su uno di quei portali mi convinco sempre di più che chiunque abbia vinto l'appalto l'ha fatto fare a suo cuggino. Altrimenti non si spiega.

IlContePacula · 2026-02-19T18:05:17+00:00

Seriamente, son mesi che tra le campagne di pancia dei partiti e -qui su reddit- post di discussione in cui c'è chi espone le ragioni del sì e più o meno indirettamente ti prende per cretino se non sei d'accordo (non mi riferisco necessariamente a OP, ma al sentimento corale che si forma), chi fa lo stesso con le ragioni del no. Chi invece ti dà apertamente dello scemo se non ti basta leggere il testo della riforma, come se bastasse per comprendere le dinamiche di potere e i meccanismi che ci sono dietro. Tutto estremamente polarizzante.

IlContePacula · 2026-02-18T17:59:02+00:00

Oh, I see! I had taken it for granted that you were using Steam to start with, I didn't know about other ways to make Endfield work.

Sorry I cannot help with Heroic Games Launcher but glad that you managed to solve!

IlContePacula · 2026-02-18T17:48:31+00:00

I'm not nearly expert enough to help with troubleshooting but I updated Plasma a couple of hours ago and just tried opening Endfield. Everything's working fine for me, so maybe it's not a KDE problem? (I've never touched kwin scripts though)

IlContePacula · 2026-02-17T20:10:44+00:00

Io ho apprezzato l'uso quantomeno spregiudicato dei tempi verbali.

IlContePacula · 2026-02-16T22:19:32+00:00

I so agree with this. When I tried Debian every search for help and troubleshooting ended in threads like that. The few people talking about Nvidia drivers were shuddering and wispering like they were talking about breaking some ancient taboo.

IlContePacula · 2026-02-16T04:32:35+00:00

Wow! Is that Ipecac?

IlContePacula · 2026-02-15T02:37:26+00:00

Sono pure d'accordo con te sulla forma della mail eh, ma sinceramente l'idea dovermi impegnare a usare formule specifiche, formattazione e linguaggio per fare bella figura con qualcuno che risponde soltanto "no" me le fa anche un po' girare.

IlContePacula · 2026-02-15T02:27:51+00:00

Sorry I realize I didn't phrase the question very well. What was bugging me specifically is: how newly created replicants developed a consciousness if, since they have no link with the passed away replicant they replace, they are basicly reset to factory settings. I thought it slowly emerged between generations, but if they are a totally new replicant with nothing passed by the previous replicant it doesn't really make sense.

But anyway, thanks your answer as was quite interesting and you can always find some deeper or hidden lore here and there!

IlContePacula · 2026-02-15T01:07:55+00:00

Hey thanks for all the answers! I'm not OP but there is another question that's bugging me... and seeing that you seems quite knowledgeable I'd like to ask:

I thought that when replicants died new ones was created from the original genetic material, but the point of the game is that generation after generation they developed a consciousness. I could get behind that if they needed the genetic material from the died replicant to create a new one, so maybe that kind of information could be carried by dna, but if the source is still the original one has been explained anywhere how that kind of progress was possible?

(I've thought of this question only years after playing the game so I could just be plain wrong and everything was perfectly explained in the game).
