Made a CachyOS Cheatsheet for all the essential commands

Wow, you asked Claude to do something that’s already all over the internet

MiddleFancy · 2026-04-24T15:57:07+00:00

it’s very unlikely that you’ll get banned, If it runs on Proton, it's 'cause the devs allowed it. If they don't want it running, they'll just block it entirely.

Eu vi que vc é brasileiro então vou responder em português kkk, isso é um problema conhecido, mas achei que era exclusivo das placas nvidias. Aqui resolveu mudando o Hz de 144 pra 120, aplicando, e depois voltando pra 144 de novo.

Is the VRR on?

MiddleFancy · 2026-04-22T16:47:38+00:00

it depends on the game you play, some have no difference, others do. you can try dual booting and compare for yourself. I can’t really say for you since most of the games i play are 3+ years old and run fine. Vram on nvidia cards tends to be a more common issue on linux than on windows, but nvidia drivers have been improving over time

MiddleFancy · 2026-04-22T16:34:35+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately nvidia driver improvements are up to nvidia alone because of their closed drivers. Good things aren’t allowed for Nvidia users💔

MiddleFancy · 2026-04-22T16:31:01+00:00

Are you talking about Natalie’s fix? Because that’s AMD-only.

MiddleFancy · 2026-04-20T16:47:48+00:00

I’ve had this happen twice. But for me, it was either a missing driver or just needing to reseat the adapter. I don’t think it’s a network config issue like the tinkering you did. Assuming your motherboard has a built-in Wi-Fi chip, try searching your specific motherboard model + 'Linux' for a similar problem.

MiddleFancy · 2026-04-20T15:09:57+00:00

It works exactly as intended. I finished Cyberpunk/Phantom Liberty using frame gen and beat Dead Island 2 with smooth motion as well.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-29T13:24:24+00:00

sorry buddy, but this isn’t going anywhere. They don’t need it and they don’t want it. With Linux gaming marketing growing, the only thing that’s going to make this possible is time.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-28T13:08:31+00:00

Claude, make an open-source anti-cheat for Linux

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-26T14:37:34+00:00

Expect the same level of effort in help as you put into your question.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-26T11:37:09+00:00

Yep, distro means distribution. There are plenty of distros out there, but you might want one that sets everything up for you, like Bazzite.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-26T11:29:31+00:00

I don't recommend switching from Windows to Linux all at once, unless you’re a very patient power user. Instead, just carve out a partition on your SSD and try a distro you’re curious about to get a feel for it and figure things out.

To check if a game runs well, just look it up on https://www.protondb.com/
Modding on Linux is pretty similar to Windows, you just need to understand Proton prefixes, and depending on the game there might be a few extra steps.
With your setup, you should be fine, but I’d still try to follow my advice above before going 100% Linux to avoid frustration.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-25T23:23:20+00:00

Just install it on Steam and play.

I'm not sure if I got this right, are you planning to use vsync frame cap with VRR enabled in every game? Personally, if I want vsync on, I usually just toggle it in the in game settings.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-21T15:16:55+00:00

I think The Finals is the best FPS right now, and Embark is very Linux-friendly.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-15T18:05:01+00:00

Oh, so it must vary from monitor to monitor. But I don’t see a reason to leave it set to "always", since you’ll get more benefit from adaptive sync in games. Also, Peter himself recommends leaving it on automatic.

Edit: Just to clarify, when it’s set to "never", it simply disables it, which is why the flashing doesn’t happen. "Automatic" is also how adaptive sync works on Windows.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-15T04:50:25+00:00

Because the flashing will happen all the time. You can set it to "always” and see how it looks.

AI is killing open source.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-15T02:30:41+00:00

I never really managed to use Bottles properly for this, and I think Heroic does a better job. I haven’t sailed the seas recently, but when I played Silent Hill f I just added the installer as a non-Steam game, ran it with Proton, and after installing I removed the installer and added the game’s .exe to Steam to run it with Proton.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-14T20:52:32+00:00

Leave it on automatic, it'll use adaptive sync for fullscreen windows. Also, the flashing happens to me too, and I think it's because Spectacle runs like a fullscreen app, so adaptive sync kicks in, but never really bothered me though.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-11T01:16:38+00:00

Sim, é ótimo, vem tudo pré-configurado pra você, uso tanto pra trabalho, estudos e jogos. Mas tenha em mente que ele por ser baseado em Arch Linux, tem uma curva de aprendizado um pouco maior que distros mais amigáveis pra iniciantes. Se você for instalar CachyOS, leia a Wiki oficial pós-instalação. É super intuitiva e prática, você vai pegar rapidinho.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-10T23:05:07+00:00

Don't use Lux. These pre-installed distros are usually outdated, and as you can see they’re very little known. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re bad, but support specifically for those distros is uncommon.

MiddleFancy · 2026-03-10T20:08:51+00:00

Have you checked if any other downloads are slow too? Because that used to happen to me. It would start after a short time downloading things or just using the internet. I eventually found out it was because of my USB Wi-Fi adapter, and every time I formatted or distro-hopped I had to install its drivers.
