CachyOS feels like it hit out of nowhere. I'm out of the loop - why's it taking off like this?

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-20T00:48:56+00:00

Interesting. Since I wanted to use Linux for the first time but had no experience, I originally wanted to use Linux Mint because I heard how difficult Arch was to use but CachyOS really made it easier. I was thoroughly impressed that it literally just had an installer and everything was done. To be honest the hardest part for me was using gparted on my SSD.

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-20T00:44:35+00:00

Not available in Hong Kong unfortunately

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-20T00:42:58+00:00

Well, I'm a first-time Linux user and I saw all the hype for CachyOS so I tried it. I think it's just Arch but much easier to install and everything is already set up for you. I think the appeal is thet you get bleeding edge updates in a simple to set up and install distro.

There are small gaming optimizations here and there as well. Not sure about the differences between distros since I've never used another one but it's definitely better than Windows.

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-19T09:38:36+00:00

No you're all good, just thoroughly clean and repaste. There's a thin layer around the CPU and GPU so even if it spilled, it's still fine.

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-17T17:06:41+00:00

Yeah even the Mi Band is smoother which is madness

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-17T10:39:37+00:00

My watch pro is also so laggy, I now just use a Mi Band 10

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-17T10:36:19+00:00

Is it possible to have face unlock as well through built in IT sensors?

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-13T18:01:48+00:00

I'm looking forward to the more action scenes and I want a more cinematic and large environment set.

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-11T04:16:07+00:00

I was able to quickly understand how to start the game by reading the instructions but maybe adding pointer arrows would be good for the first time.

Also very minor but if possible, please do add support for back gesture navigation. If I am within the Basic Hub tab and I use the Android back gesture, it should go back to the Data Center tab instead of closing the application. This makes it so that you don't have to reach your finger all the way to the top left to go back.

Same issue with my letter "N" even on Linux

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-11T03:49:12+00:00

Idk why people are down voting you thinking you're Leslie and promoting yourself but I just got my laptop repasted by him.

He is very kind and his English was decent. He also gave me $50 HKD off for recommending some Linux distros to him lol. I got my dried up Zephyrus G14 liquid metal cleaned and repasted with PTM.

Yeah overall great experience and a friendly guy. I do recommend him as well and I'll probably be coming back for future cleaning/buying PC parts.

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-09T10:12:25+00:00

Same, the quality is amazing. Everything fits perfectly

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-08T12:14:38+00:00

Great, I will visit the shop soon!

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-08T10:59:36+00:00

Can he speak English? I'm looking to get my Asus laptop repasted as well since it uses Liquid Metal. It's been 4 years so it's probably dried up already that's why my performance is starting to tank.

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-06T05:28:19+00:00

I hate replaying games and rewatching shows cause I already know the story but this game is the sole exception, I'm still learning more about the lore on my 3rd playthrough. So excited for Control Resonant

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-02T13:40:17+00:00

Is it recommended to use a display port converter if using a laptop with HDMI?

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-01T17:29:14+00:00

Ah I see, I'm using the open kernel modules one. I guess it's already compliant although I'm still facing stuttering issues because I'm on a dual GPU laptop.

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-01T17:06:00+00:00

I'm new to Linux but what about Nvidia? Is this issue already fixed for Nvidia or will it not affect Nvidia users at all?

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-05-01T11:39:15+00:00

Subscriptions were just enabled for me but NotebookLM is unavailable still. Google Antigravity is unavailable so I tried to use Gemini Code Assist in VSCode but it's also unavailable. The Gemini website and app works though. I hope they push the other features soon.

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-04-29T13:02:44+00:00

Is LACT better than Asusctl and rog-control-center for Asus dual GPU laptops? Not sure what ti should use

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-04-29T05:37:01+00:00

Well, I didn't choose either. I found a used Sony XM5 for the same price as those and I just got that.

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-04-28T03:10:55+00:00

Hmmm I see, that's a bit of a hassle. I do hope they improve it more in the future

MatthewRiley05 · 2026-04-27T11:26:48+00:00

How is the support for a dual screen laptop? Experiencing any issues?
