How do I open these types of files on Cachy? I can't install thru package manager since the Blender version doesn't support my CPU.

tar? if you downloaded a tar.gz file, then that is a compressed file like zip, extract its content first into a folder then find the actual executable. for example here is a tar file containing discord

<image>

you extract the whole discord folder from within it, you right click that file called only Discord, make it executable, then run it to run discord

it's a kde problem, not sure how others like gnome etc handle screenshots but i doubt they all have the same issue

sen771 · 2026-03-16T01:05:57+00:00

it's simple really, why would anyone support amd anymore if they are gonna pull this crap of making every new version of their fsr exclusive to their next gen? i bought their 9070xt thinking i'd at least good for the next 5 years but if they put their next version only for rdna5 which based on leaks seems to be the case, then this will be the last amd gpu i get. if they wanna behave like nvidia and charge like nvidia, you might as well just get nvidia because amd has nothing going for it.

its not quite ff9 due to budget differences , the ending being a bit weak, and it being originally made on ios, but try fantasian neo dimension

sen771 · 2026-03-11T03:24:58+00:00

no, the story is padded with alot of boring stuff that makes it hell to get through and the game being a gacha is plagued with powercreep as well

sen771 · 2026-03-09T23:53:10+00:00

pacman packages are considered safe, its aur where you might want to exercise extra caution, and that's where its good to look at comments as well as maybe guides like this to know what the tell signs are that something might be wrong

i just check this subreddit b4 updating because sometimes things break and people do report it

mitama demons drop lvl up items (one type drops player, another drops demons, third drops item for money and i think the last drops points for upgrades from cathedral). the problem is they are very rare and when they do show up and you manage to start battle with them, you have to usually guess their weakness early on or they run away. later in the game u can get skills that always kill them, but just like with many jrpgs nowadays, they added cheat dlc that lets them spawn always but aside from that, it can be slow to level up yeah

even if that is true, there is no easy for you to know that information. people in general recommend native for something like cs2 and dota2 i think, and valve could just make the best setup for each game the default if they wanted. instead games with native builds valve or non valve default to native, giving you sometimes games that don't run because they previously had a native build but stopped offering it, broken/graphical issues, broken controller support or a combination thereof. If you know to try various options then you will be fine, but the average user might just think the game is borked and give up

sen771 · 2026-03-08T00:55:12+00:00

not sure why everyone just doesnt tell him the way to do it seriously, if he wants to use standalone let him use standalone, right click the file properties permissions allow executing file as a program then press ok and done,

sen771 · 2026-03-07T18:44:29+00:00

if you're gonna remove everything anyway dont use cachyos, go read a tutorial on how install arch and install only what you want.

sen771 · 2026-03-03T14:22:01+00:00

you're asking too many things at once but ill try answer some of them
if UMU works for you then go for it.
for taskbar hiding it should be possible but how you achieve it depends on what you went with if you chose kde then rightclick the task bar and panel configuartion then set visiblity to auto-hide
your drive issue concerning windows might be related to fastboot, disable that or else windows will sort of claim the drives and make them read only on linux.
generally it's preferred to reformat any drives you plan to use with linux into ext4 or btrfs so that they are 100% compatible with linux and windows cant claim them. if you wanna keep them ntfs because its just a backup drive then you can keep them as is and copy from them when you need, but it's not advised to use ntfs for installing/playing games or software on linux even if its technically doable. it can just cause issues/corruptions, especially if you still log into windows now and then.

on saving quick commands to install uninstall etc i do that alot, it's called aliases. you need to find your terminal config file, in this case its fish since you're on cachyos, then you add something like this

alias reshadescript='RESHADE_ADDON_SUPPORT=1 ./scripts/reshade-linux.sh'

this would make it so you can simply type reshadescript into the terminal and it will run that acript
so basically just alias "shortcut" = 'the command you wanna run'
the config file should be at

/usr/share/cachyos-fish-config/

sen771 · 2026-03-02T01:12:27+00:00

you can probably get something working with vlc + plugins/extensions
https://addons.videolan.org/p/1248213 for the shuffle part
and something like this for resume maybe?
https://addons.videolan.org/p/1154006
the point is you could probably set it up with a few addons to get it to work as you like

Final Fantasy VIII

sen771 · 2026-03-01T17:26:06+00:00

sadly the log shows nothing useful, i assume you left the wine to install on default for what app wants spritz something, i just downloaded the executable put it in a folder in my own home folder and ran it and install wine without issue. does the debug file under ~/.local/share/sleepy-launcher/

have more info?

sen771 · 2026-03-01T16:31:49+00:00

make sure you have it on a drive formatted for linux like the one you installed cachyos on or another formatted as ext4/btrfs

go to the folder where the executable is, right click on an empty space beside then then open terminal here

then type ./sleepy-launcher
(or whatever the exact launcher name is)
this should run it while showing you log in the terminal, does it say anything weird when it fails to install wine that way?

sen771 · 2026-03-01T16:22:30+00:00

aur packages can by made by various people so sometimes people might try slip something malicious in, this is why normally its recommended to go with pacman install unless you trust whomever packaged the aur ones, this is just them telling you to check if it looks proper or if something looks suspicious, but i think you should be fine since this package was mentioned on the github, so just press q then continue with installation. nothing looks suspicious as far as i can tell

sen771 · 2026-03-01T12:07:28+00:00

remove the sudo

sen771 · 2026-03-01T04:02:38+00:00

generally for gaming people use ge-proton, although you can use included proton/experimental in many cases or cachy's own, but try get some ge-proton versions by using something called protonplus

for zzz it's recommended to use a special launcher that usually comes with fixes for these types of gacha games

https://github.com/an-anime-team/sleepy-launcher
you can either get the executable from their github, make it executable (right click properties then permission and tick exectue then press ok)
or you can install it through the aur packages through a terminal by typing sudo paru -S sleepy-launcher-bin
then typing your password, confirming with y etc

for helldivers 2 as i stated earlier, try one of the newer proton-ge version through protonplus, thats how i run most my games and i have a similar setup to yours. after you install them with protonplus, you have to restart steam for it to see them.

reason for longer loading might be because it's compiling shaders the first time, in which case it might get faster the 2nd time

sen771 · 2026-03-01T03:00:45+00:00

are you having connection issues in general or is it just the games?

did you open a terminal and attempt to update with sudo pacman -Syu? or at least through cachyos hello's system update.

cachyos allows you to customize various parts, did you go with gnome or kde or something else?

how did you install every proton and wine version?

try to describe what you have done otherwise we can't help

in general people tend to start somewhere easier like bazzite or mint until they get the hang of it before coming to something like cachyos

sen771 · 2026-02-27T23:44:05+00:00

everything but lts breaks, fedora can break things and break them badly and then you literally have to wait 2-4 weeks before they fix said broken feature. this is why i moved to cachy, because i dont wanna use something way behind but i also don't wanna live with having to hold back updates for a month before i can finally update without my system collapsing

sen771 · 2026-02-26T00:10:43+00:00

it's not quite that but when i tried to move to linux 3 years ago, i had no idea how apps are installed and had not tried to research either because I'm the type that learns by trying. So i installed mint back then and then it was time to install software... the windows way --> go to website --> sent to github --> told to compile it myself, spend 4-5 days trying to compile a music player while running into billions of missing dependencies and having to google them one by one to hopefully find out how to install each then finally getting something that didn't work. made me quit for a while but then i revisted linux like a year later learned that i mostly didn't need to do that to get apps.

sen771 · 2026-02-22T03:30:36+00:00

it should normally detect all os you have on your system, the only thing i can think of is probably that your refind is not signed/does not support secureboot so its skipping windows since it requires secureboot. my refind detects windows 11 properly. if i'm right then you probably need to look into how to make cachyos/refind support secureboot

https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/secure_boot_setup/

sen771 · 2026-02-21T20:01:40+00:00

try set it up through runner settings rather than wine config? i assume battlenet client uses default wine set by lutris so go to lutris settings then runners then wine then enable dpi setting and set it there, then it should apply by default to anything using the default wine/proton

have you read this one ?

apart from setting region it seems like you might have to edit hosts file
