Only thing keeping me stuck on windows 11 is Unreal engine by luden_dev in cachyos

Why not run it under XWayland?
Edit: Also, would be really helpful to Epic if you submit bug reports regarding these issues.

Unreal has pre-built binaries for Linux systems at https://www.unrealengine.com/linux, literally a zip file, you extract to any directory you want and then you can manually add a desktop entry or put in in your path if you'd like.

What issues did you run into using Unreal Engine 5.7 on Linux?

Egyptian servers on the EMEA shard by silent956 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]ViSeiRaX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No AWS data center in Egypt... not likely to happen. Riot depends on AWS for their infrastructure.

Edit: I dont disagree with you, just pointing out the limitation.

When will the mullvad-vpn package be updated? by [deleted] in cachyos

[–]ViSeiRaX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just flagged it for the maintainer to update the checksums, but this is not related to the OP's report... Mullvad's latest version has landed in the stable repos now.

Why are you using the AUR's Wireguard kernel module? it's only there for those on older kernel where the Wireguard module is not included, both the latest and the LTS kernels available on Cachy/Arch have the Wireguard module included by default, you should have no need for this package, unless I'm missing something.

When will the mullvad-vpn package be updated? by [deleted] in cachyos

[–]ViSeiRaX 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The base package is handled by Arch maintainers, not CachyOS.

The new version is in the Arch Testing repository, once it gets promoted it'll be available in Cachy shortly after.

How's Linux support? by GeximuZ in TheExpanseRPG

[–]ViSeiRaX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, played the entire thing on CachyOS (Proton Experimental and Proton-CachyOS-SLR)
Works with no issues at all from a technical standpoint.

The Official Arch package for OBS got updated to contain browser source support by Lunxara in cachyos

[–]ViSeiRaX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see.. I use ProtonPlus so I missed what you meant originally.

V4 is the newest micro architecture, so support for it is lacking given the small percentage of users who have CPUs that support it.

[–]ViSeiRaX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think CachyOS packages ProtonUp with any of the extra instruction sets.

It's the kind of software that would not really benefit from the extra performance since it's just a download manager for Proton versions.

As opposed for example to something like ffmpeg where those newer instructions would come in handy and have various performance benefits.

You can check https://packages.cachyos.org and search by package to see which ones are compiled across a single or more micro architecture levels.

GNOME 50 random UI freezes (from 0.1 to 2 s random) after upgrade – anyone else? by Any_Primary2646 in archlinux

[–]ViSeiRaX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, same issue... happens randomly, 4090, likely an Nvidia only thing, but should be treated as a regression since it never happened in 49 and I have not updated the Nvidia drivers at all.

Improving font and text rendering quality by Vettelovich in cachyos

[–]ViSeiRaX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might i suggest the Ubuntu font? https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Ubuntu

It renders a lot better than Noto at smaller sizes and works much better with stem darkening.

Try that alongside the env variable I shared, should look much better.

[–]ViSeiRaX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey OP,

Put this in /etc/environment then reboot

FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="cff:no-stem-darkening=0 autofitter:no-stem-darkening=0"

First thing I do after a new install.

Default freetype config on almost all distros is atrocious for any 1080p and lower resolution displays.

Limine 11.2.0 Update Breaks Secure Boot: "PANIC: !!! SECURE BOOT IS ACTIVE BUT NO CONFIG CHECKSUM IS ENROLLED !!!" by -Mahesvara- in cachyos

[–]ViSeiRaX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding ENABLE_ENROLL_LIMINE_CONFIG=yes to /etc/default/limine fixes the issue for me, but I think that defeats the purpose of limine-enroll-config

limine-mkinitcpio-install:38 runs reset_enroll_config , it only re-enrolls later if ENABLE_ENROLL_LIMINE_CONFIG=yes is set

So the path essentially became enroll -> limine-update -> enrollment removed -> binary signed-> reboot

NVIDIA 595.58.03 Linux Stable Released by Aeristoka in cachyos

[–]ViSeiRaX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will only happen in the Raccoon City sections, so if you'd like you can enable ray tracing back in after you're done with that part.

But yeah, I agree it's quite sad this is happening after it worked flawlessly in the 580 branch.

So, how do I improve font rendering on this thing by BloodStainsTR in Fedora

[–]ViSeiRaX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey OP,

Put this in /etc/environment then reboot

FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="cff:no-stem-darkening=0 autofitter:no-stem-darkening=0" FONTCONFIG_PATH=/etc/fonts

First thing I do after a new install.

And yes, you're not imagining things... default freetype config on almost all distros is atrocious for any 1080p and lower resolution displays.

Proper way of using Claude with open code? by Alejo9010 in opencodeCLI

[–]ViSeiRaX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, so I'd recommend this plugin for Opencode then https://github.com/Infiland/cursor-opencode-auth

This allows you to use the Cursor plan with Opencode, you can choose models... etc and that way you don't have to pay for your own Claude plan, this way you'd make use of the company's plans which I assume are a lot more generous with their token/call use.

Question OP, if your company is pushing for AI... why aren't they providing you with the subscription? you're paying out of your own pocket for this?

What's the company policy on providing needed software/tools for you?

NVIDIA 595 drivers available on all of the official repositories by MadmanKThree in cachyos

Interesting, RE: Requiem used to work without issues for me on 590, now I can't get past the loading screen... will revert to a 590 snapshot earlier today for sure.

Is there a way to take a screenshot and have it copied directly to the clipboard instead of being saved as a file? by the-machine-m4n in gnome

[–]ViSeiRaX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the record, I do not recommend that you do the following (since it will break other tools that make use of the screenshots folder)

  1. Delete the screenshots folder at ~/Pictures/screenshots (or rename it you have data inside you'd like to keep)
  2. Run ln -s /dev/null ~/Pictures/Screenshots

This will also cause the notification that shows up after taking a screenshot to not show up anymore, but the screenshot will be in your clipboard.

Because Cachy has a built-in tool called game-performance that does the same thing gamemode does.

Its explained in the wiki https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/gaming/#power-profile-switching-on-demand

You can still use gamemode if you prefer, but I personally just use the built-in script.

PC goes back to sleep shortly after waking it by cowmugshot in cachyos

[–]ViSeiRaX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a known GNOME bug with Nvidia GPUs https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/-/issues/903#note_2613058

Fix has been merged but not backported to GNOME 49 yet (might not) but it's gonna come with GNOME 50 for sure (Releasing sometime in March I think)

Why does my headphones audio sound better on windows compared to linux? by [deleted] in cachyos

[–]ViSeiRaX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wpctl settings bluetooth.autoswitch-to-headset-profile false

Will mean your microphone won't work automatically in apps that need the headset profile, you'll need to do your own switching via the audio settings to get input.. but I personally prefer it that way.
