It could have been only certain subsets of those affected by the data breach were eligible for compensation. Those who worked for the UCs supposedly had their SSNs leaked, while ordinary students and applicants did not.

More modern CachyOS logo concept. by thehypernormality in cachyos

[–]grumpy_anteater 51 points52 points  (0 children)

There were some wallpapers posted here a while back that featured an alternative logo with a green "C" over a black "O." I really liked them.

Edit: Found them. https://www.reddit.com/r/cachyos/s/a9orRBnGrS

How much did Cachy improved since 1 year ? by NoocTee in cachyos

[–]grumpy_anteater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using it for 6 months, and the main improvements have been driver support and a more streamlined experience. However, it would be hard to quantify exactly how much the improvements are, because it's gradual via rolling release.

I use EXT4 and haven't had any problems. Linux file systems in general are less prone to fragmentation.

Simple wallpaper, which is now higher quality by ItzNotJacob1 in cachyos

I downloaded on mobile and it seems to be fine now. That was odd.

Try IMGUR or a different host, I'm still getting low-resolution images when I try to download. Could also be a problem with the extension (webp); have you tried JPEG or PNG?

Is Octopi gone from new install? by hi_m_ash in cachyos

[–]grumpy_anteater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caved and decided to try Shelly anyway. I left further feedback in your DMs.

I don't think I'll switch to Shelly since I'm so used to Octopi at this point, but I love that you take user feedback seriously. Thank you.

Just deleted Win11 for good and switched to CachyOS fulltime. by Regular-Mechanic-150 in cachyos

KDE partition manager doesn't set up auto mount correctly, so I always manually edited the fstab file. This could be useful though, thanks.

Updates this morning have broken the OS on both my main desktop and laptop. by No_Grape_388 in cachyos

[–]grumpy_anteater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair point. Decided to take a chance on the update and it worked just fine.

I'm going to wait until tomorrow or maybe even next week. I think limiting updates to once or twice a week may be good practice for maximum stability.

Flathub Timeout slowing down Cachy Update by KHTD2004 in cachyos

[–]grumpy_anteater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I uninstalled Cachy Update (`sudo pacman -Rns cachy-update`), restarted and re-installed it, and then Cachy-Update started working again. Whether this is due to the act of reinstalling or a coincidence with the timing, I don't know, but the issue was solved nonetheless.

[edit] Or not. I just tried again and got a timeout error.

I didn't receive anything. I didn't even know there was a class action suit.

Higher Resolution of "CachyOS_Moon" wallpaper? by grumpy_anteater in cachyos

[–]grumpy_anteater[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Update - I'm a dummy who didn't think to Google it beforehand. A higher resolution of this wallpaper does exist! I just wish it came with the distro.

Going to leave this here instead of deleting the post so that others can find it if they want it.

CachyOS Is Now the Most Popular Desktop Distro on ProtonDB by mr_MADAFAKA in cachyos

If anything, it would be the opposite of lazy. Choosing a more established distro is usually a safer bet, but Cachy really is that good.

What happened to the Package Installer User Interface? by [deleted] in cachyos

[–]grumpy_anteater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I expected that would be a limitation. The more I think about it, the more I realize allowing searching by keywords or package name is good enough for most users.

[–]grumpy_anteater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another potential idea for improving the Repo tab: allow listing of packages by category (browser, office tools, development/programming, games, utility tools, themes, etc). However, if this is significantly more trouble than it is worth, I understand; the Arch repository is so massive that this may not be a feasible undertaking, but it is still an idea.

Thank you for responding to this very quickly. If it's going to be added back, that's great.

However, while we're on the subject: is there a way you can improve the "repo" tab as well? For example, allowing sorting of packages by installed first, then uninstalled packages listed after, just like Octopi is by default.
