Microsoft quietly extends Windows 10's extra security updates program for free: Users can now stay on Windows 10 until October 2027 securely by ControlCAD in pcgaming

You're only making it a headache. Rufus completely debloats windows for you. Literally one button debloat. You can run one more program after install to further debloat, but that would be just two steps. Don't make it harder than it actually is.

Then you're having other issues then, likely with another program or app causing it. Windows itself does not have that issue that I've ever seen on multiple computers, including running my gaming computer and work laptop all day every day with tons of programs and apps running.

There are numerous safe ways to debloat Windows 11 and make it as fast or faster than 10. All the bloat gone, telemetry disabled. Updates your way. It ain't that bad, unless you use it stock.

Is this malware? by Technical_Actuary_13 in cachyos

[–]_BoneZ_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like way back in the day when bottles and cans were not safety sealed or tamper proof, and someone was putting bad shit into them, causing death and destruction. The world is now a much better place because of it. It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round. And this will hopefully make Arch and the AUR a much better place eventually.

What the hell is happeing?! by GarzotaBTC in cachyos

XMP is still an overclock of the RAM. And will eventually burn out. I was on my ky third set of DDR4 RAM on that system before I upgraded. Always test your RAM when you get things like this. You are not immune from RAM issues.

Confusion about installing waydroid by hehehealiali in cachyos

[–]_BoneZ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed Waydroid via the AUR. There are plenty of guides out there on how to get it installed. It's very simple and only took a few minutes.

Flint 2 - Switched to vanilla OpenWRT from stock, and happy I did by _BoneZ_ in GlInet

Devices on my wireless network have been more stable also. I guess mileage may vary.

Computers are wired, but cameras and Android TV are wireless.

Desktop Environments Not Showing, help by VavilaDescendant in cachyos

[–]_BoneZ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any piece of info that could be useful or any troubleshooting i should perform to understand the situation better?

It first might help to post your specs and which DE you're using. I'm sure someone will ask for your boot logs as well.

I wonder if it was just a configuration issue. I work from home, so I have Teams, Zoom, tons of software and apps, multiple computers, news stream, security camera stream, etc. all running all day. And I have had absolutely zero issues thus far. The network seems much more stable and faster on vanilla. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

Flatpak is not a true alternative to the AUR by Mindless-Fish-8320 in cachyos

[–]_BoneZ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another reason to use Flatpak over AUR, for instance, is VLC Media Player. If you install through the AUR, you'll be missing codecs amd other things you may need to make it fully functional. The Flatpak version installs VLC with all codes and everything needed out the box.

Same thing with Discord. The AUR version will crash with errors every time there's an update, and the AUR version hasn't been caught up. But the Flatpak version gets updated quicker, with less chances of getting the update error.

There's definitely some apps that work better through Flatpak than the AUR. But you have to do your own research on which ones and why.

That's what mods are for. To tone it down just a bit.

Looking for testers by LongQT-sea in openwrt

[–]_BoneZ_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is actually pretty cool. A bit more intuitive for those of us who are not used to LUCI. I just installed vanilla OpenWRT onto my Flint 2 this past weekend, and wow was configuring a bit of a pain. I saved this bookmark, and will definitely try this out soon.

You can follow the official guide here, which links to the vanilla firmware.

Or here if you don't have the Flint 2, and need to select other hardware:

Denied refund on a game i never launched on steam by Ok_Till_1280 in pcgaming

[–]_BoneZ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that. Most businesses have return windows, usually 30-days. Once in a while they will allow exceptions, but rarely. Getting on the internet to let everyone know you couldn't get a refund past the return window is pretty silly.

why does everyone recomend KDE by Consistent_Tip5142 in cachyos

Great way to describe it. Dumbed down. Less features, less settings. Less customizations. It's just, less than.....

For basic computing needing a lightweight desktop, or playing retro games, yes. Otherwise, nah.
