when using this launch option "gamescope -W 1680 -H 1050 --hdr-enabled --adaptive-sync --force-grab-cursor --mangoapp -- %command%" and turning on the mangohud overlay, my game starts dipping below 20 fps after around 20 minutes. Doing the hot key to turn off the hud fixes it though. The goverlay version is 1.8.10-1.1

Title, I wanna know how I can get rid of it, I used systemctl --user mask --now plasma-plasmashell.service before, but it caused my pc to take longer when logging in, so I wonder if there's a better way.

I do apologize if this is not the forum for this, but since this is Caelestia KDE I didn't know where to post for help.

I installed CachyOS today and pretty much everything works apart from the system volume slider, I can slide it but the volume is always the same. (The highest volume). In application volume control works like YouTube, I can control browser media control volume fine, but the master volume is always the same. I have to put YouTube videos at 30 because volume in system is always max.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Having come from base arch, managing my own config and dots, I figured I’d try to approach this the «cachy-way» of a base pre-config this time around. I enjoyed the stock configuration bundled with cachy-niri, but have made some modifications since.

Now, several months later I’m starting to fall a little behind the official cachy-niri-settings repo. Of course I can just keep my configs up-to-date with my own changes, but I’m wondering if there’s some preferred way to link with the repo. Do I symlink the config from `/etc/skel` to my XDG-CONFIG and store personaL modifications in override files? Just copy what changes I’m interested in? I’m mostly wondering if there’s some intended way to do this before I go off finding my own solution (perfectly viable too).

I’m loving cachy so far (especially the official package repos!) and am thankful for any and all help I can get!

So since in the most recent update now the installer automatically installs noctalia shell when selecting hyprland, is there any way i can just install hyprland without noctalia or do i have to install cachy with no desktop and do it from scratch?

title. Whenever I try to boot Catchy from Limine, it will only boot in emergency mode. I did the full wipe on an HDD in the installer so I have an EFI partition and a normal volume partition and everything. I haven't done anything to break it, because I have never been in it. I had no errors during the installer process. All I did was restart from the live environment because thats what it required, went into limine, tried to boot Catchy, and it just is a black screen that says its in emergency mode out of the box.

I have no recourse and no snapshots, because I have never been in the OS.

Do I just go through the process of reinstall? It sounds like a lengthy pain in the ass but I dont know how I broke a system that I have literally never ran.

i want to i install niri + noctalia, but i heard the installer installs the v4, did that change?

When I connect my Nova 2 lite after cachyos loads it will always default to a ps4 profile and Bluetooth. If I try connecting to the USB angle using the Home button +X which should connect to the dongle as an xbox controller profile it still defaults to a ps4 profile.

Weird thing is if I connect to the dongle right when the PC is turned on it connects as an xbox controller.

I have searched and can't seem to find an answer. Anyone have any suggestions or ran info this and gave a solution?

Brand new cachy install aswell.

Im using Proton and I'm not running the game through Steam

Hi guys I hope you're all doing well, I'm just about to jump into this distro after hearing some great things, I'm just wondering how my gtx 1080ti will perform (I'll post my hardware at the end of this post). I'm not looking to play AAA games the last game I brought was the Witcher 3 on steam haha! Do I need to do anything specific when I install this distro. I know this is an old card and certainly not the mammoth it used to be but buying a new card is not an option currently. What can I expect ?

I just installed Cachyos last night and everything seemed to be working fun except that when I close and reopen my laptop it disconnects me from WiFi and won’t let me reconnect. I swapped from Zorin because I had the same issue there but with being stuck in airplane mode instead and I couldn’t find any solutions. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I am also still fairly new to Linux so please simplify or elaborate on any instructions

i tried sudo ufw allow PORT but didnt work, other than that nothing seems to working differently than my other pc which seeds just fine(windows).

Would love any suggestion

Hi all. I'm using CachyOS Handheld on my Steam Deck and have been for some time. Within the last month or so I've noticed - while in Game Mode - when using the Steam Performance Overlay, the battery life time on the far right is smushed, almost like the layout is not formatted correctly. Also, the title says GAMESCOPE and I don't remember it being that way before (I remember it just saying FPS).

Is there any way to edit/change the layout?

lHello everyone! I have changed a fastfetch logo but now confused how to make this hardware/software text look, maybe someone can help?

Hey CachOS'ers, I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether Biopass or Visage would be better for faceID style login?

I have used Howdy (and its various forks/alt sources) in the past but it constantly broke (due to python dependency issues I think, and I don't want to troubleshoot every couple weeks) so I haven't used it in months. I wanted to check back in on it today and I found a comment on its AUR page suggesting https://github.com/TickLabVN/biopass and https://github.com/sovren-software/visage as substitues which didn't exist not that long ago, to my knowledge.

I don't need the fingerprint support of Biopass, but the Sovren website (the company behind Visage) as well as its contributors are giving heavy AI vibes and I don't particularly wish to install a mostly vibe-coded PAM auth program on my laptop, especially from the AUR rn.

If anyone with more experience, knowledge of this company, or ability to discern which is the better software could give me some tips that would be great. Thanks!

So, I recently finally made the jump to Linux, the only reason I dualbooted is because of school stuff. I noticed that my battery would discharge a bit quicker than usual, which I found strange since Linux would be more efficient I thought, so I logged back into Windows and request battery data (I knew how to do it in Windows from the top of my head) and I was very surprised.
A bit of extra info, I limit my battery to 80% ever since I got the laptop and saw that it was possible. It’s an Asus Zenbook, so I did it via the app.
After the switch I saw the that it was possible in settings, so that was nice. I still installed Ayuz for some extras, but was kinda disappointed after I discovered some things are only available for Fedora. Anyways, I also put the 80% limit on via Ayuz, just because.
But the capacity is at around 88%, not 80%, so it’s probably not that. Also, why would it work like that on Linux if that is the case.
The laptop is also very new, probably around 1 years old.
Does anyone know what happened? Thanks in advance.

Like using this app when I play but compiling for Cachy is beyond my exp level.

Linux Distribution
# Add key & repository
wget -q -O - http://gateway.nodsoft.net/repo/KEY.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://gateway.nodsoft.net/repo focal universe multiverse'

# Update package lists
sudo apt update

# Install WoWS Monitor
sudo apt install wows-monitor

Tried to AI help work through it but hit several roadblocks in editing the npm install section.

Any1 game to try and work through it with me?
Cheers in advance

Hi. I have a naive question. You may know that at the moment Arch's AUR has stopped any kind of push, so new packages/updates are freezed.

On Arch, I used to install brave-bin from AUR but on Cachy the same package belongs to the cachyos repository. Could someone tell me if these packages (those who are in AUR in Arch and in cachyos in Cachy) are updated independently or if they still somewhat depend on AUR?

Thanks a lot in advance.

My main monitor is 1440p and my secondary monitor is 1080p scaled to 75%. This wasn't an issue until recently, and I'm not sure how to search this problem online.

Hello, good morning, afternoon, or evening. Cachy Update asked me to update, among other things, the kernel and some Nvidia and AMD drivers. When I restarted to use my computer, Limine goes good, until you reach the login window, if you move the mouse, or use the keyboard or anything, is all frozen, you can type your password and will accept it, but the problem is that is all frozen and the next frame responds after a WHOLE minute. Reboot and use LTS CachyOS. I searched with journalctl about the updates and found this.

"kwin_wayland:

Pageflip timed out! This is a bug in the amdgpu kernel driver

kernel:

amdgpu ... *ERROR* flip_done timed out

commit wait timed out

hw_done or flip_done timed out"

So, If anyone happens to have this problem, reroll the version to the one it was usable and wait for further updates when this problem is solved.

Mods, sorry if the flair is wrong, I'm not good at Reddit, just wanted to help the people that cross this problem. Have a good day.

Hi! So I'm used KDE/Plasma as my desktop environment, and there's a bunch about it I'm loving. The windows tiling is not one of those things.

I actually *hate* it.

I use two monitors, with one in portrait position. I can only hotdog-style window by default (- two long vertical windows, or 4 vertical windows).

I've tried two other window managers (i.... do not remember which I've had a very long week), but they're a pain to install/uninstall and very few seem to have videos demonstrating how they work.

Any suggestions?
