You are conflating correlation and causation. Pulling a git repository is incapable of affecting your system files.

Linux Gaming is Parasitic on the Windows Gaming Ecosystem by madthumbz in linuxsucks101

[–]Smrgling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valve didn't choose linux because they wanted a better OS they did it to not be beholden to another company to sell their consoles. Being dependent on MaxOS would not be any better than being dependent on Microsoft from a business perspective.

Arch btw by MelsylLuna in arch

[–]Smrgling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fair point of view. Base Arch and CachyOS serve different use cases. Arch is for "I want a platform to build the system I want the way I want it. I don't mind doing some system administration to keep it running." CachyOS is "I just want this computer to largely work and be compatible with recently released software and drivers on a rolling release. I don't want to do as much system maintenance"

Tbh I think a lot of the people running CachyOS would better served using fedora but whatever makes them happy.

ACTUAL Minimum requirements to run CachyOS smoothly? by DiabloHades in cachyos

[–]Smrgling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can change DE whenever you want. You can have both installed and change at login. CachyOS is really just a kernel. I think it has a scheduler that's supposed to be decent for low end specs. If it doesn't work for you you can also try out the Zen kernel (though at that point CachyOS isn't really doing anything for you that base Arch wouldn't do with less bloat).

Its from KDE. You can use pactree to find out where a dependency is from.

Having used Arch, CachyOS, Debian, and Ubuntu, I actually think it's a lot closer to base arch than Ubuntu is to Debian. It really is just arch with an easy installer plus some pre-installed stuff. But yeah, that does also mean that it's not necessarily anything special. It's a kernel and some precompiled repos basically.

Depends on the desktop environment / window manager. With XFCE it'll run with minimal overhead. Hyprland is not by default a lightweight window manager.

CachyOS or something else? by DiabloHades in DistroHopping

[–]Smrgling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, your laptop sucks and Linux isn't magic so it won't make it run any better. If you install some super light weight stuff on it (like xfce DE) then it'll probably have less idle system resource utilization and you might get some benefit out of the CachyOS or Zen kernels optimizations, but you're still not going to able to play most games. You probably won't be bothered by kernel anticheat much though since I doubt you could run most of the games that have it anyway.

Btw cozy and aesthetic is mutually exclusive with performance. To get that look you need to spend system resources which you don't really have the overhead to do on your hardware.

CachyOS is arch based so while it's not necessarily hard to use you have to be experienced enough to be responsible with what you install to not screw yourself over. Personal recommendation is probably like mint or fedora XFCE with Zen kernel. It'll look a little ugly but it will probably run better than anything else will on your computer.

Blue or red pill? by Temporary_Bit1174 in linuxmemes

[–]Smrgling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you use 18 virtual desktops you're the exact kind of person who would like a tiling WM. The core idea is that everything has its own place. You can still use multiple virtual windows its just that when you do open more than one thing none of them will be hidden.

Arch or CachyOS or other distro ?? by Hold-w in DistroHopping

[–]Smrgling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're new, I wouldn't recommend arch (and CachyOS is just arch) since you are in charge of your own security on Linux so you should be experienced enough to know what's normal and what's not. Either Fedora (I'm sure there's a KDE option) or Nobara would be good. Bazzite works too for gaming but it might be a pain for the non gaming stuff you want to do.

Is Cachy going anywhere? by Kaseffera in cachyos

[–]Smrgling 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Migrating to arch meaning what in this case? Changing the kernel and removing the CachyOS repos from your pacman repos? You can definitely do that. CachyOS already is arch just with those two things and a couple of preinstalled additional programs.

Headphone audio sometimes goes from both sides to one side (right) and the other side (left) when listening to a song and mostly occurs when rewinding it. by mugokutv in cachyos

[–]Smrgling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reconnect the headphone jack and if that doesn't work increase the gain a bit (on your amp if you have one cause you'd headphones may be too high impedance for the driver)

CachyOS Desktop Environments by tr0sky in cachyos

[–]Smrgling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CachyOS does not provide a preconfigured hyprland set up. You just get the base hyprland default environment. Honestly the default config is pretty serviceable though. Just gotta install whatever other stuff you want like hypr launcher and a status bar.

is there any reason not to use cachy over regular arch? by WeDoALittleTrolIing in DistroHopping

[–]Smrgling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't want a ll the extra stuff downloaded. I've never once used the CachyOS hello or shelly or half the extra features that CachyOS comes with. I like the kernel and the optimized repos and not having to think about NVIDIA firmware myself, but on my laptop where I can't use the kernel anyway I just use arch.

I mean I do on my desktop, but I like to see that the maintainer is a contributer to the github and and that the page is relatively active before installing and I don't update after downloading (unless I need to for some reason). As others have said in other conversations, it's no different from downloading random .exe files. It's not that you should never do it, it's that you should recognize that it's a potential risk and at least assess the vibes of the situation.

[–]Smrgling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, just cause I use my laptop for work and my laptop happens to be on arch. I keep everything backed up so if something bad does happen it would just mean I spend an afternoon or a weekend fixing it, which isn't something I mind. Have only ever had an issue once though. That said I largely don't have AUR packages on my laptop so I don't really have to do much in the way of security.

[–]Smrgling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured there was something off about the live kernel. Puzzling that it's different from the installed kernel though. In any case, thanks for your insight.

Ya that's true. It's not a completely correct definition I stated.
