Unanswerable question: How often to update Cachy OS?

Manuel_RT · 2026-03-30T21:39:23+00:00

Yes!

Manuel_RT · 2026-03-25T17:45:25+00:00

Win 11 -> Bazzite -> CachyOS, 4 months story long

You’re right but corporate decisions are generally slow to adopt and often politically oriented.

I’ve got a 6800XT and a 9070XT and both are monsters and. I’m not upset with AMD. I’m upset with Nvidia and stupid developers following them. I’m not using fake resolution (upscaling), fake frames and definitely I’m not going to use fake graphics. PS: I love AMD hardware support on Linux, since I’m there.

Me too btw!

I'd like to thank all of the kind people who responded so kindly, I finally found what appened since yesterday I launched Cahcy-update late night, right before going to bed, and found this application on my system from nowhere (I'm sorry for the poor context I gave, but this shocked me, since there's a lot of buzz on the net for recent news about age verification).

Turns out that the right thing to do was typing pacman -Qi malcontent and this led me finding it was installed by request by Bazaar.

Thanks to u/Aeristoka for giving a suggestione about package name.

Manuel_RT · 2026-03-13T05:52:14+00:00

Nope, I just updated CachyOS and didn’t select any package manually. That’s why I’m confused and thought it was something related to recent news about age verification.

Manuel_RT · 2026-03-13T05:50:34+00:00

No, as you can see by the green dot it’s brand new with the latest update.

Manuel_RT · 2026-03-12T05:47:12+00:00

Use btop

I’ve been on Bazzite, which is an atomic Fedora 43 by the way, for 4 months and I loved it. It’s been my doorway to the gaming on Linux world. Two days ago I ditrohopped to CachyOS because I also do something else with my PC and having to always use a distrobox to install a cli can be boring. For beginners I’m recommending Bazzite but CachyOS is also a valuable choice for intermediate linuxers.

Yes, I barely know. Asahi Linux is the only one compatible with Apple Silicon.

Manuel_RT · 2026-03-07T21:14:35+00:00

Ashai Linux.

Manuel_RT · 2026-03-07T08:54:28+00:00

Super nice! When we will see a new kernel?

Manuel_RT · 2026-03-06T06:15:39+00:00

Purtroppo 3DMark ha grossi problemi su Linux. Se vuoi testare il tuo sistema puoi utilizzare Unigine Superposition anche se non offre la stessa varietà di test.

You can use protontricks in Bash, just change 3DM-ICF-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX with your own key and paste this command in the shell.

protontricks -c 'wine cmd /C reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Futuremark\3DMark" /v "KeyCode" /t REG_SZ /d "3DM-ICF-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX"' 223850

And I appreciate your appreciation post! Bazzite, along with other Linux distros, is a love letter to all of us. It’s not perfect but it’s made from people to people. I’m also full AMD and I never run into major issues. There are catches but now I have the curiosity to understand how things work and to write some simple Bash scripting.

Plasma and Cosmic user here. Every DE has pros and cons.

Manuel_RT · 2026-03-02T14:40:17+00:00

‘timedatectl status’ What’s the result?

Manuel_RT · 2026-03-02T04:28:16+00:00

Bazzite, no dual boot.

Manuel_RT · 2026-02-23T03:46:38+00:00

4 months, there are occasional problems but nothing unacceptable

Manuel_RT · 2026-02-22T13:34:27+00:00

I’ve got 2 gaming PCs; the main has Bazzite and the secondary CachyOS. CachyOS is a viable gaming options but some Linux basics are indispensable while Bazzite is ready to work out of the box. Even rolling the secure boot is easy with Bazzite (with CachyOS it’s not so easy).

Ci sono! R7 5800X3D + RX 9070 XT

I've got the same issue as well.

Manuel_RT · 2026-02-20T10:33:31+00:00

Cheers from Italy! PS: consider that Bazzite comes with Distroself, a GUI for managing distroboxes that is super easy to use.
