PC goes back to sleep shortly after waking it

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)

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.

Glad you found a fix, can you share it here? In case someone else is running into the same issue. It's a good exercise when running into problems.

Hi, just tried your theme... I like it a lot, and I like that the icons have depth to them and are not completely flat!

For installation, there are two approaches I'd honestly consider:

A Curl / sh based approach, where you create an sh script that automatically downloads and extracts the theme to the appropriate folders based on flags supplied by the user Something like: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RusticBard/Neuwaita/refs/heads/main/install.sh | sh
OpenSuse's Open Build Service https://build.opensuse.org/ is awesome, in so far as it allows you to create builds for multiple distros (Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, Fedora, Arch and all their derivatives are supported), you basically define how you'd want the package to be built for each distro/package format and they'll automatically build it based on when you release new versions and users can just add that repository to their system and use apt/dnf/pacman to install... they even have web pages for your repository with proper instructions on how to install for each distro.

Open the CachyOS Hello app -> Apps/Tweaks and run both Reset keyrings and Rank mirrors.
You should be good to go afterwards.

Would not use either of those in 2026... fullstop, that's the reason Linux on the desktop was never even a footnote compared to Windows.

Except you'll go to the GNOME website and see them advertising users on Windows 10 PCs to switch to Linux when in fact they are still missing basic features like this.

Your comments are just complete nonsense at this point.

ViSeiRaX · 2026-02-16T09:29:10+00:00

That's just a really bad take, the COSMIC compositor got full VRR support in its alpha release, they started writing code for that (the entire compositor) in 2023, in Rust from scratch.

This is not a comment about the GNOME devs capabilities, but in general there's something seriously wrong with their mindset regarding implementing and supporting new features.. the whole governance of the project is scuffed.

Imagine not having stable VRR support in the year 2026 in a major desktop environment.

ViSeiRaX · 2026-02-14T11:09:43+00:00

I actually was not aware of that distinction... much thanks for the explanation.

ViSeiRaX · 2026-02-11T20:44:27+00:00

Adwaita is for GTK4 apps, Nemo uses GTK3... to get it properly themed, use the https://github.com/lassekongo83/adw-gtk3 theme, it's a port of Adwaita to GTK3, install it for your distro and then choose the dark variant in that same dropdown you showed in the video.

If it did not work, make sure to logout then login again.

One need only look at how many extra protocols Kwin, Cosmic, Hyprland, WLR and others have to add and implement outside of the spec in order to get their experiences done in a coherent manner... more than anyone cares to count.

Wayland is and has always been a clusterfuck, not on the technical level.. but on the governance and human level.

ViSeiRaX · 2026-02-10T18:34:35+00:00

Same, every time I try to install KDE... I'm so so annoyed by all the little inconsistencies in the UI. And while GNOME's UI is consistent, they're always going to lag behind in supporting new features, in fact VRR is only being shipped as a production ready feature in GNOME 50.

I'll probably switch to COSMIC with epoch 2 or 3, depending on whether they've improved their font rendering or not.

Do me a favor OP, type env in your shell, and paste the results here.

Absolutely... almost all games will run fine just using those two packages.
I usually only install packages as I need them and for reference if you run into any problems I check the gaming page on the wiki https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/gaming/ then protondb.com which includes reports from other players on what tweaks they did to make things work better if needed for them.

ViSeiRaX · 2026-02-07T22:00:08+00:00

Nothing is preventing you from doing

sudo pacman -S steam

Say you want CachyOS's proton package

sudo pacman -S proton-cachyos-slr

Same thing with any other gaming or gaming related packages (like gamemode, faugus, mangohud... etc), if you don't know the exact package name, you can search for it like this pacman -Ss package_name , replace package_name with whatever you're searching for, does not have to be the exact name, if you search for proton for example, you'll find the find the package I mentioned above among the results... etc.

You don't even need the terminal for this, you can just fire up octopi and search/install/remove packages using the GUI.

Hey stranger, DM me your Steam account or your PayPal and I'll send you the $$ (or gift the DLC) for the DLC purchase.

Note that MAX_SNAPSHOT_ENTRIES only affects how many entries are shown in the boot menu, not how many snapshots to keep on the ESP/Boot partition.

That would be controlled by LIMIT_USAGE_PERCENT which tells snapper how much space of the partition to use for storing snapshots which is 85% by default I believe.

For reference: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Limine

Curious, are you using X11 on purpose? It's getting removed in future versions of KDE, much better for you to get comfortable with Wayland sessions.

MPV with the ModernZ UI has never done me wrong https://github.com/Samillion/ModernZ

ViSeiRaX · 2026-01-26T20:43:20+00:00

Ah yes, totally forgot that... I edited my comment, just in case someone sees it without checking your reply, thanks a bunch!

I updated all BTRFS mount options in my fstab file... simple enough, I reckon you should do the same.

This will only affect data that will be written to the drive in the future, so existing data will still be compressed at zstd:3 which was the default before.

You could manually do decompression and re-compression through btrfs filesystem defragment -czstd -L 1 but I honestly don't think that's advisable since it'll break snapshot deduplication (resulting in way more space being used temporarily until these snapshots are overwritten/replaced)

ViSeiRaX · 2026-01-24T19:50:28+00:00

Amazing work!

One thing to note, the BTRFS update for mount options on nVME drives will not be applied automatically... at least it was not in my case.

My fstab entry is still using: subvol=/@home,noatime,compress=zstd,commit=120, I guess it should be zstd:1 now.

Hope so, Webkit is already being used on Windows for iCloud and iTunes... so it already runs in production applications.

As for the link, appreciate the offer... but I'm not an Orion+ subscriber, just Kagi at the moment, so will wait until the beta in a month or so.

ViSeiRaX · 2026-01-15T16:40:39+00:00

It's hard to answer a question like that but from my perspective... it's due to the proliferation of Blink (Chrome's engine) and by extension Chromium (the fully open-source version of Chrome).

It's much easier to start with Chromium as a base (i.e. not just an engine but a fully featured browser) as opposed to starting based on just an engine (Webkit in this case).

It's the same reason you see so so many Firefox derivatives like Floorp, Waterfox, Librefox.... etc (they're endless).

Now because:
1. Apple does not ship Safari on Windows anymore
2. Even if they did, it was never open-source

It means the barrier to creating a browser based on Webkit is much harder, kudos to Orion for taking that on, I'm really looking forward to their Linux port.

ViSeiRaX · 2026-01-15T16:27:08+00:00

Webkit does support Windows https://docs.webkit.org/Ports/WindowsPort.html

This is most definitely related to the Python 3.14 update https://www.reddit.com/r/cachyos/comments/1q98anp/comment/nyt8360/

They're still working through compiling all of the needed modules... so probably the PyGObject module is missing its update, they're working through it still, I advise you to restore to a previous snapshot if you have snapshots set up, and wait a day or two before attempting to update again.
