The "animation" made me giggle, now it's time for a reboot :)

I've been using Linux off and on (mostly on) for about 8 years now, mostly Arch until CachyOS came out. I have to say the optimizations that y'all do make this the best distro I have found for Rust/C programming.

you can find better quality of the wallpaper here -> https://github.com/MRCYODev/wallpapers

I tried both cachyos wiki and guide on subreddit but neither worked for me. As you can see in the photo,I blocked sbctl hooks to prevent it signing kernels and added the required line on the config file(And also run commands said on the guides). Am i doing something wrong or is this a bug?(Hardware: Dell G15 5530)

I installed CachyOS three days ago, and after a few tests (and a few struggles), I’ve decided to stick with it for gaming! I managed to run games like Crimson Desert in HDR using RenoDX and FSR 4.0.2 through OptiScaler — all in 4K at around 90 FPS with Frame Generation.

Full AMD setup: 7900XTX + 7800X3D.

Honestly, I’m super happy with the results and just wanted to share!

Sorry for the photo — I haven’t set up my Reddit codes on this PC yet!

I was finally able to switch completely to Linux. It's been three weeks. The few minor issues I encountered have also been resolved thanks to the gemini and the linux community. I copied the wallpaper from a laptop running Fedora. CachyOS needs a better logo and better wallpapers. That logo is not bad but too detailed, the single color (a shade of green) C and white dots could be fine I think.

So I got this laptop about a month ago (Acer Nitro v16-61-R9SL) and decided to install cachyos on it but ever since installing I've noticed these weird artifacts that show up. Most of the time they show up when playing games like in the second clip where you can see the windows go transparent and then a different type in the first clip. These weird glitches never show up when the laptop is idling or just using the Internet, usually only showing up whenever something is using the laptops resources like playing back a video or playing games and having them in the background, they'll never show up on the game itself mostly on the desktop. Is there anyway to go about fixing this? I dont mind if have to reinstall windows on it because I was thinking of doing that anyway after college but having to deal with these weird glitches on and off is a bit of a nuisance. Thank you for your help 🙏

I was supposed to install CachyOS on my main PC today, but the screen goes black when I start the system. I've spent a few hours searching for a solution, checking if I can fix it in the cmd, and I've already reinstalled the system three times. I think it's because I have an Nvidia graphics card, since Linux often has problems with Nvidia drivers. I think I show pretty much everything relevant in the video. It would be great if someone knew how I could fix this. Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help me. I think this is the first time I've encountered a bug like this with Linux.

Interesting how some simple changes can really make the desktop experience much better on the eyes.

I really need some advice. I couldn't find anything about this on Google. Is there an alternative to Palit Thundermaster for Linux? For example, when I play on Linux even with a 165 FPS cap (my native refresh rate), the GPU gets very hot, so I have to set the power limit to 150 instead of stock 200. But on Linux, my FPS is already 20–30% lower in almost all games than on Windows, even though I use Steam launch options along with Gamescope and stock power limit. In Overwatch, CS2, and so on, input lag and FPS are very important. On Windows in Overwatch, I get 400 FPS in the shooting range on medium graphics settings. On Linux, it’s ~300 on low settings. In Thundermaster, you can set a maximum GPU temperature that it won’t exceed, and performance barely drops, and it actually works. I just want to get good results. I’m currently using CoolerControl, but it can’t handle it, it has no option to limit the temperature. Even with the 165 FPS cap, the GPU gets hot, and I have to set the fan speed to 100% at 80°C. But I don’t want my computer to sound like a jet plane. On Windows, I don’t even have to set an FPS cap in games thanks to Thundermaster. But on Linux, this is a big problem.
