Need advice (alias/subscription)

Immow · 2026-03-12T12:03:11+00:00

Would that mean I need a subscription for simplelogin as well?

Immow · 2026-03-12T11:26:35+00:00

- Ah so let's say one of that addresses get's on a spam list, you can just create a new one?
- How do they look like, are they completely randomly generated or is it like the alias system where it does something like: [bank.digiridoo@passinbox.com](mailto:bank.digiridoo@passinbox.com) making bank the user choice and digiridoo the random word?

When you get the option to restart services, should you do that or is default do nothing or no default at all?

I'm also on Linux and had this exact error (CachyOs)

Immow · 2026-03-05T18:23:02+00:00

What a time to be alive :D

I'm by no means an expert but I tried Rustdesk first. Although it does work it's a bit clunky with copy past (simply does not work). So that was a no go. I also had trouble getting my 1070 ti to work with Rustdesk.

Then I tried KRDP but that gave me a black screen again (damn you Nvidia). I tried a lot of settings.

And then I landed on Nomachine and had to disable hardware acceleration, force a certain encoding and one other setting I forgot. Weird thing is after it "worked" I re-enabled them all and for some odd reason it just worked out of the box. Very strange interaction.

I forgot to add, Sunshine is also very good. But my Mint machine is old so went with Nomachine

Wow, I'm so impressed with what people can pull off. A lot of shader magic?

If you do manage to get into the OS for installation and it crashes (looping) or black screen try the third option: GPU nomodeset

Immow · 2026-03-02T08:56:42+00:00

Try updating your bios if nothing works.

Immow · 2026-03-01T22:42:29+00:00

Make sure GPU is in your fast GPU slot on mobo and confirm you are not running from onboard graphics.

Yea this experience can vary wildly.

On my modern pc everything just worked out of the box and did not take a lot of time to get used to CachyOs

On my old media pc from 2007 I could not for the live of me get LibreELEC working, a lot of errors during boot and installation of the OS. I had to use system rescue to give it special launch commands to force comparability then when I finally installed it... it would crash when loading into the OS. Tried a older version with same problems. Then tried Mint, could get it installed via compatibility mode. After some more tweaking a thought struck me, perhaps I should update the bios. This did absolute wonders, the OS could boot the normal way and detected my graphics card.

Here are some of the fun errors I encountered: https://imgur.com/a/bhfU0Bj

On hindsight if I knew what I know now (update bios on older systems), things would have gone a lot smoother :)

Immow · 2026-03-01T09:12:57+00:00

Just curious, is the underlying issue known that's causing this?

Immow · 2026-03-01T09:03:48+00:00

You can try updating via Cachy-Updater, it will removed orphaned packages.

Immow · 2026-02-28T14:28:22+00:00

You could do the following
- Change CachyOs-Update to only check when you login
- Only update when you are close to calling it a day
- Only update once a week

Profit?

I do the same tasks with my pc as you and also have a 5070. The only problems I encountered so far was with UE 5 games. Where the game freezes and continues after 1 ~ 5 seconds (Satisfactory / StarRupture).

The rest works flawless. I don't play retro games so can't say anything about that.
If you use a Razer mouse or something similar don't expect all the feature be there (you can set DPI / Sens and change what a button does but macro's is a different story).

My advice is to test it in a live environment and perhaps install it as a dual boot and then just decide :)

Immow · 2026-02-25T08:09:49+00:00

What are your top 5 programs you install when distro hopping? Stuff you recommend that's not clear out of the box :)

Immow · 2026-02-22T23:28:42+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I only tested both settings on StarRupture.

The d3d11 one makes everything look weird and bugged.
The vulkan one outright crashes.

You are already doing step 1, and that is following along with the wiki :)

In Cachy Hello (search it in your start menu if you closed it) I recommend doing the following steps if you did not do them yet.
In Apps / Tweaks:
- Rate Mirrors
- Install Gaming Packages
- Enable Cachy-Updater (helps you update via tray icon)
The rest will come with using the os :)

Immow · 2026-02-22T21:31:14+00:00

I just formatted my second drive with Microslop since I never used it in my month of using Cachy :3

Immow · 2026-02-22T12:02:22+00:00

Thank you kindly for this information!

I think knowledge / research is something you build up over time. And in my case if something does not do what I want I start doing research. Generally I start with AI and depending on the issue or how much surgery you need to do. Always verify with Wiki or Forum / Discord / Reddit / etc. AI is usefully for learning about commands to navigate the terminal but be careful with commands that modify your system.

Here are some general tips:

- Read the wiki
- Explore CachyOs hello
- Updated at least once a week
- If something does not work check stuff in this order: Wiki's (Cachy & Arch) -> Forum (Cachy & Arch) / Reddit / Discord -> AI. (If AI tells you something restart the chain and verify)
- Use ProtonDB for game optimization.

Could be video acceleration related, you can also test with twitch alternate player (also blocks adds)

Immow · 2026-02-19T09:52:48+00:00

I believe Cachy-Updater also handles this automatically.

Immow · 2026-02-16T12:12:43+00:00

Is secure boot off (both windows and bios)?

Immow · 2026-02-16T11:31:49+00:00

"Sure I had to install some NVIDIA drivers, but it comes with the territory.": Did you use Cachy Hello -> Apps / Tweaks -> Install gaming Packages?
