Got it yesterday!

Was too busy having fun with it yesterday so I never got around to sharing 😅. MASSIVE improvement over the OG model, and super comfy too! Been playing a lot of Doom (2016), Battlefront 2 (2017), Helldivers 2, Sonic Racing Crossworlds, and Asphalt Legends to test it out in different genres, and it rips through everything like a champ. Couldn't be happier :)

Second monitor blackscreens on login

Basically the extent of my problem. My primary monitor works just fine, but my second monitor just shows a black screen after I log in. It works fine on the actual login screen, showing my the background I have set and everything. The only way I've found to make it work again is to power cycle it (and sometimes I have to physically unplug/replug it since the bug or whatever won't let me turn the monitor off). Any solutions?

Been on the fence about installing Cachy on my main desktop for a while now, and last night I finally had the guts to do it. It wasn't perfect at first (I sacrificed sleep to troubleshoot some annoying issues*), but once I got everything configured the way I like it it's been pretty sweet! Looking forward to playing with it more in the future :)

*main issues were not being able to configure RGB, arRPC not having the right dependencies, and my second monitor not turning on upon boot

I was paranoid of not being able to get one so I stayed on the store page refreshing 15mins before the drop time 😅. Weirdly enough I was able to buy it 2 mins before 10am PST, but hey I'll take it

Im using a Lenovo ThinkCentre M710s as a machine to test different OS's on, and the wifi frequently throws errors of "limited connectivity" and doesnt work properly unless I disconnect and reconnect to the network. Some days it works fine, but it usually occurs when I'm doing something that involves the internet (updates, large file downloads, and YouTube video watching usually).

I initially thought it was because my room is located in the corner of the house, but I don't have this issue on my main gaming PC.

This problem has also persisted over multiple different OS's (Windows 10, ZorinOS, CachyOS, Fedora, and Bazzite), so I suspect my wifi card is going bad.

Is there a surefire way to know 100% if it's the culprit would something else be causing this.
