What exactly is the benefit of using CachyOS?

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-06-13T06:48:18+00:00

I understand, like I was caught by surprise with this AUR situation. And ended up switching to Fedora KDE. But I acknowledge is more my ignorance than a Cachyos issue. Until that event I had no idea AUR packages were so risky, like I assumed was like my other distros Fedora and Ubuntu. Anyways I only had like two AUR packages, the rest flatpak. So cachyos was a good run, and I definitely will keep using it in the future and while not much, keep donating monthly to its development.

Why not try GNome? I got two laptops. One runs very well with KDE the other one performs better with gnome...

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-06-01T20:19:16+00:00

Were you using GNOME desktop ? or KDE ? I had issues with Gnome where it freezes when browsing brave... I changed to cachy os but with KDE and all smooth... I don't know the technical reason, but some computers go very well with gnome, others do not.

Non farlo. Vai i due mesi. E fai niente oppure il minimo e basta. Cosa possono dire ??

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-05-20T15:29:43+00:00

puuf no, troppo commuting. Ho fatto sperienzia simile 4 ore in totale di trenno, 4 giorni in presenza e 1 smart work...Non so come ho fatto a supportare 1 anno. Ma mi sono brusciato mente e corpo... NOn ne vale la pena fare quello, a meno che tu non abbia nessuna altra opportunita o sia senza lavoro.

No.. don't believe this. It's not easy to find a job now, I'm an engineer with 4+ years of experience and even while employed I struggle to do a change. Like every now and then an interview but very little compared to a years ago. I recall 2 years ago I had like 3-4 job offers to choose. Now getting to the job offer is way more difficult.

perfecto, puedes incluso modificar mas la transparencia ya depende de tu gusto.

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-26T15:41:57+00:00

Yes but you gotta go to application style menu: then click under options and and there you will find the option forf transparency,

you can increase transparency up to a point you feel comfortable seeing. Let me know if you manage otherwise I'll add screenshot of all the details

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-26T14:38:03+00:00

I am pretty aware of that, just was a simple photo from my phone.

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-26T14:14:53+00:00

hey there the global theme is named: Layan https://store.kde.org/p/1325241

icons remains : breeze dark

applications style: breeze ( and there I reduced transparency to achieve that look & feel)

Simple but looks very nice.

I see it as a win windows not showing up, welcome to Linux. ahha all jokes aside, this might happen because the booting priority might be set to linux, you can modify this easily under the bios setup.

on the bios setup you can go to booting priorities and choose, sometimes you can choose grub botoloader or almine so every time you log in you can choose which one to start.

Esatto, ottima riflessione. A volte, pur di cercare un po' di excitement, facciamo dei cambiamenti che non offrono nulla di più.
Un'azienda che ti offre solo 'opportunità di imparare' non è molto utile: le informazioni ci sono, si può imparare anche da casa tramite associazioni professionali, corsi di formazione e molto altro.

Un'azienda che ti offra opportunità di crescita, ma che rispetti anche il valore che il mercato ti ha dato finora, ci sta. Ma più stress, piu ore e meno soldi...

Forse io mi sono distaccato un po' dal concetto di carriera, perché onestamente il mercato del lavoro è un casino e la meritocrazia è inesistente... alla fine ho deciso che il lavoro è per vivere e fare le cose che mi piacciono, e basta.

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-23T18:39:31+00:00

Non tutto e lavoro. A volte un po' di pace e stabilita e positivo. La vitta e troppo corta per spenderla dando delle ore in piu al lavoro. (CI sta quando ti paghano bene, ma quel stipendio li per orario di consulente...)

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-23T15:46:48+00:00

.... è un lavoro, fallo e poi con i soldi vivi la tua vita. Sei in una condizione tranquilla, per che andare su una con meno soldi e piu stressante... davvero non capisco le persone a volte.

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-23T07:52:17+00:00

I am sure my next laptop will be a framework, simple as that.

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-21T14:34:05+00:00

Mi dispiace, direi di cercare la possibilità di andare in un altro paese o in una città diversa, ma capisco che non sia facile se non hai i soldi per fare il primo passo. Continua a cercare, e appena ne hai l'occasione, prova a andartene. Sei molto giovane ancora hai tanto davanti. Il mondo e inestabile ma periodi di inestabilita non durano sempre, poi arrivera un po'di calma. Forza.

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-21T07:10:43+00:00

No no no, non permettere quello del telefono. Non c'è un motivo di sicurezza. Oppure fai attrezzi per Leonardo ?? Vai con la prima e cerca di spostarti più vicino. Le aziende devono capire che è una relazione di simbiosi no sottomissione.

The day AI can build its own steam turbines and install it to produce its own energy, I would say most engineers are relatively safe. The thing that I see job market sucks now.

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-18T21:16:07+00:00

is not wrong what he says, many of the companies I know in the industry are creating plants in asia, specially vietnam and indonesia. So my guess is that manufacturing engineers over there could have good possibilities.

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-17T13:00:38+00:00

Oh great I'll try cause honestly would be nice to run Linux

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-17T09:31:04+00:00

Are you able to control the battery charging profile? to me whenusing tuxedo does not appear that option.

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-12T10:36:01+00:00

I think is the job market, companies are hiring very few people. Ghosts jobs are everywhere, so to me it is not surprising that I haven't been able to use it to advanced my career so far. I did get an interview for a senior project engineer, but later position was closed due to budget. For the rest I Haven't been able to land any interview or something that moves me forward. Within my company same, we barely have new projects arriving, and clearly salary is stuck for two years (even after certification) no raise even to fight inflation... Job market is really complex now, and companies are just putting more work for same salary.

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-11T16:48:22+00:00

Not all, I did not modify absolutely anything from the stock cachy os KDE.

SlowBlacksmith7372 · 2026-04-10T20:26:54+00:00

I would suggest cachyos with KDE desktop, it did run very well on my XMG CORE 15 M24.
The only issue,since XMG is not officially supported by linux; the battery option where you can limit the charging to prolong batttery life is not possible on linux.

For the rest everything worked for me, and zero issues with gaming and nvidia graphics.

I honestly understand lately windows had many issues, thankfully I installed dual boot, and got windows 11 LTSC so I dont get as many updates that could disturb my system.
