Like PikaOS is basically the Debian equivalent of Fedora's Nobara distro kinda simliar to how CachyOS is basically the Arch equivalent of Nobara.
Anyways this is easily my favorite debian distro
it ships with Kde Plasma by default just as i like and it's gaming focused + a whole lot of other things i like

Finally someone has stats to show pikaos has equivalent and in one game 1 fps better performance than cachyos.
So I was trying to install Navidrome with docker and the server could not recognize the music files in my HDD so I try to give it full access so it could find it. After hours of trial and errors it was recommended that I mount the HDD on boot up. Now my computer can’t have access to my HDD for some reason, what do I do?
Hey everyone. Just found out about Pika OS and I have to say I love what i’m seeing so far. The only downside is: I can’t seem to get my Belgian Azerty (.be) keyboard layout working.
I have followed the instructions on the PikaOS website telling me to remove the default conf file and install kbd and kbd-data.
When I want to set my keyboard layout to be (sudo localectl set-keymap be) it says the keyboard layout is not found. If i try .fr it does accept that entry. But even after rebooting nothing changes and they keyboard is still qwerty (even though in /ect/vconsole.conf it says it is set to .fr
any ideas what i’m doing wrong?

Hi
I installed pikaos yesterday and everything works great so far. The only thing I can’t find a fix for is I have black bars around my tv. Maybe like an inch or so. I’ve tried different resolutions and tried changing the tvs settings.m but no luck. AI told me to write some stuff in the terminal about xrandr and underscan or overscan but those commands didn’t work. It just said something about missing fonts or something like that. Didn’t make no sense to me. Im new to Linux.
My pc specs are
Core ultra 5
16gb ddr5
Rx 9060xt
Xiaomi miniled 75inch tv.
Hi, Im using the Niri version of PikaOS. Have used it in few hours but when i checked the launcher there are multiple entries of the same app. Is this a bug? do i just delete the .desktop on this? Below is the screenshot
