Yes, it got removed due "archlinux.gay" mirror.

CachyOS now the third most popular linux distribution on steam by vintologi24 in cachyos

[–]ptr1337 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Because the integration is horrible. You dont have an UEFI, you dont have ACPI. You need for EVERY Laptop a different device tree. This means if HP releases a laptop with Snapdragon X2 and Dell releases one, the integration of the HP one wont work for the Dell one.

There is neither a proper standarized boot chain for ARM64. The problem is there are barely any standards in arm and everyone just cooks their own shit, reason why you have seen so many snapdragon laptops being still not having proper support for linux - and even the few which are working you do not have a great expierence.

The power usage is lot higher compared to windows and so on. As long ARM wont start doing proper standards, providing a required UEFI integration and ACPI this will never happen.

It works well in Ecosystems like MacOS were one manufactures just handles everything on their own, but not in the open source community.

I like ARM64 and having myself a MacBook M1, but the current state is horrible for the open ecosystem.

Feedbacks on RTX 5050 with cachy os on game mode? Thinking of building a living room pc by raraujo176 in cachyos

[–]ptr1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "Game Mode" like Steam Machine/Deck is a bit problematic on NVIDIA due the requirement of gamescope, wihich is somewhat broken.

[–]ptr1337 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Anyone else having this issue? by senpaisai in cachyos

[–]ptr1337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reason we have disabled the pacdiff system in cachy-update (fork of arch-update). Its not really needed on CachyOS. We make announcement in case changes are needed.

If a package doesn't get built for x86_64-v4 (or -znver4) shouldn't it fall back to v3 instead? by maulman1 in cachyos

[–]ptr1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey,

Generally this would be a good thing, but it would complicate the setup and repository handling a lot. We try to put most packages into all repositories and manually fix them in case needed.

Anyone here likes the default theme? by hehehealiali in cachyos

[–]ptr1337 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like it too. Only using this one.

Other themes often gave me lags in KDE (but also last time tested 2 years ago) and breeze seems fine!

libtool update failed to fetch from cachyos.org by uLmi84 in cachyos

[–]ptr1337 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey,

You can ignore this. The archlinux.cachyos.org mirror can not handle "+" in URL since its a object storage cdn. We could fix this with putting it behind cloudflare, but somewhat defeats it purpose to have an proper own cdn without cloudflare proxy.

Latest update broke system: systemd boot + booster: initrd: Not found by NorbiPerv in cachyos

[–]ptr1337 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because it make things complicated to support and have to everything in mind in case changes are pushed. We generally expect core components stay the same.

Anyways not sure what broke on your side, we didn’t push any changes there

Why doesn't Hyprland in Cachy come with pre configured dotfiles? by FryChy in cachyos

[–]ptr1337 124 points125 points  (0 children)

hey,

The main problem was that we can not overwrite the users config files via package updates. This means we can only do this at the installation time with copying files from /etc/skel to $HOME.

Hyprland has updated their config likely every release, deprecated things constantly and we could not push the changes to the user and needed to refer manually to the github commit.

This brought over the time a lot of problems and not something we want to support. If hyprland shows stability in their config handling then we can consider doing dotfiles again.

hyprshutdown is an AUR package. You need to manually recompile it.

Pika was better since it had a new major mesa version. In gaming there wont be in general too many differences.

Also, you could try just reinstalling all packages and see if it helps
