ScotsBear 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿I've talked a great big lot of Linux lately so I'm placing a wee cap on that for the time being (The Doctor???) with a little appraisal of my new PC home, CachyOS. Disclaimer: This is me Mug in hand contemplating my work. All opinions expressed herein are therefore my subjective own and all the fault of the coffee. Cachyos feels a little bit like the future. Its great claim to fame is being hyper-tuned for performance and I can definitely see it by comparison to Garuda. Linux generally feels nippier than Windows (whether it is or not is not for me to say); I remember well, moving to Linux, the feeling of being on an OS that wasn't fighting you or dragging it's arse doing stuff. But Cachy gives that feeling even compared to other Distros. That feeling is made more acute by Hyrland's glossy animation smoothness, selling itself by lovingly licking my brain each time it does anything, a clear step above even the new(ish) KDE Plasma 6. The two together are giving me some immense Happy. On the alternate hand, I've never installed anything quite so minimal. There was really nothing installed beyond the absolute basics. Imagine buying a house without owning any furniture. That ain't a home. I invested time this weekend adding furniture and decor but it wasn't until I got my /home files out of storage that I started to warm to the place. CachyOS feels a little bit more Linux. That's true. I feel closer to the Linux coal-face on this OS than I did cossetted by KDE's adherence to ancient WIMP/DE paradigms, and by Garuda's abundant setup generosity. I have config-file bashing in my future (bring it on!). Also, Hyprland feels a little like a frontier wilderness. It's still being built and there are no guarantees stuff will work. As much as I love a comfort zone in software terms, I get bored. Some part of me needs to be out exploring. I rarely got that feeling on Windows. Remember Compiz? The spinny desktops-on-cube-faces hotness Linux was all about 7 or 8 years ago? That, to me, is Linux. Wide-eyed mavericks dreaming the future in order to make our lives better. Tiling Windows Managers are another great innovation, and Hyprland seems to have zeitgeist in it's sails. And now Cachy is here to give us even more on the same hardware. I'm now very glad I've scrubbed Windows off my drive; the contrast would be even starker now. The ghost of Windows persists as a partition on my cloned backup drive, haunting me in the spooky corners of my mind. Therefore, after I'm sure I've got everything I need from the Garuda partition data-wise I will be re-Cloning to preserve what I have here - pure, unadulterated Linux. Now, would anyone like to guide me through installing Hyprland dotfiles? :ablobsweats: <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Cachyos" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cachyos</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Preach" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Preach</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Hotness" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hotness</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Hyprland" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hyprland</a>

ScotsBear 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿And here I am on CachyOS / Hyprland! Not without a fight, I can tell you! The installer did NOT want to play with my requested drive customisations so after five goes I let the installer just have at the entire drive itself and boom, here we are. In the last hour I've been playing I have twice very nearly quit this and installed Garuda's own Hyprland spin. Garuda do a LOT for you (by way of setup and Install - after that NOPE) where Cachy is more of a bare-bones install. There isn't even a file manager! I'm feeling a wee bit overwhelmed at the growing mountain of Learning and customising in line for me if I want anything like the setup I just, erm, left. But you know what? Let's tough it out for a bit and see how I get on. My browser is back and after several eye-straining hours my keyboard's back-lighting is on again. Everything else is just Time and Internet Searches. :neocat_cool_fingerguns: The default wallpaper is horrid. That's very much next on the list to tweak. And yeah, that's fiddling in a config file, I think. Most of Hyprland will be like this but I knew that going in. Riding the bleeding edge here, humans! And we're using a new(er) bootloader called Limine (which apparently plays very nicely with Snapper snapshots) which I'll need to research to find out if it can choose options automatically. Having to press some keys every time I want to boot is not optimal. <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/CachyOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CachyOS</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/StrangeNewWorlds" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StrangeNewWorlds</a>

ScotsBear 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Hmm, so CachyOS then... Got the Live USB working, had a look around. Some thoughts: :ms_small_blue_diamond: There's a limit to what a Live USB can tell you. They're great for folks coming from another OS: you get a preview of what you're moving to. But for a more advanced user you kind of know all that anyway (unless you're trying a new Desktop Environment [DE]). Cachy shares a lot of the same packages Garuda does. For the performance improvement I want to see, I think they'll only manifest on 'bare metal', when fully, properly installed to the system. i noticed the graphics were not as slick...though I'm only now thinking I didn't check the monitor refresh rate, probably set to 60Mhz instead of my familiar 144Mhz. Some of the software I was expecting to see based on research, like Octopi, wasn't there. I'm assuming the Live Environment is only meant to be a cut-down version of the main install...but when I tried Garuda all those moons ago it had everything. It doesn't make much difference, just means I'll have a longer period of adjusting as I slowly build my software library preferences back up. :ms_small_blue_diamond: Niggly Issues It didn't see my SSD. I could access the 2nd storage drive but not the main system drive. Not sure why not or what that means. I think this means I'm going to prepare by cloning the drive to the new backup rather than simply copying ./<me>/Home to it, so if I need to I can completely revert back to the dual setup. Gonna take a bit more time thinking things through, make sure I'm comfy to move ahead. <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/CachyOs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CachyOs</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/TheBigMove" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheBigMove</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/DistroHop" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DistroHop</a>

ScotsBear 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿In limbo a bit with my Linux plans. Turns out I've cough misplaced all of my useful USB drives. <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/SomewhereSafe" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SomewhereSafe</a>. The only one I can find is 2Gb and I need 8Gb for CachyOS's Live USB. I've got a new one coming today with the new backup SSD. Sadly, it's not <a href="https://kitty.social/notes/a6aaol1fk98u18kx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shaped like a penguin</a>. I did look. Funnily enough, the 2Gb USB has a Live Install of Antergos Linux on it. That was my previous (failed) attempt to move to Linux back in...I want to say 2016-18-ish? But in that case the team making Antergos broke up and the project died, which was an awful loss because it was one of the most advanced and user-friendly distros of the era. I used the abandoned corpse for a while longer but when that broke my heart broke with it and I slunk dejectedly back to Windows. A community-run project arose from the ashes and became EndeavourOS, which you may have heard of. When choosing Garuda I did look at Endeavour but they take a minimalist, bare-bones approach (though still more than Arch itself) whereas Garuda had muscles, skin, hair, tattoos... CachyOS happenings should kick off tonight around tea time [GMT](<a href="https://kitty.social/tags/GMTeaTime" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GMTeaTime</a>) <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/USB" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USB</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/CachyOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CachyOS</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/EndeavourOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EndeavourOS</a>

ScotsBear 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Just made the decision to move away from Garuda Linux!<blockquote>1: Removing a Philosophical Thorn In My Side</blockquote>Garuda runs beautifully and looks fantastic but the team behind it are, generally speaking, not what I'd call "beginner friendly". I'm seeking friendlier shores. Hopefully, that's CachyOS.<blockquote>2: Magpie-ing Towards Greater Performance</blockquote><a href="https://cachyos.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CachyOS</a> is getting a lot of praise and attention right now for its specially-optimised Kernel and software which delivers (anecdotally) the fastest Arch experience available, and Arch is already quick compared to some other flavours of Linux. I'm never not one to turn down a free performance upgrade! Exciting!<blockquote>3: Finally Banishing the Beast</blockquote>I'm a fibber, for convenience. I tell people I've moved to Linux and ditched Windows. The first is true: the second is only half true; Windows still exists on my drive. I've not logged into it in over a year (cross my heart), and the Grub bootloader in this dual-boot system defaults to Linux, but it's still there taking up valuable space on my drive - a full Terabyte - that could be used more profitably. It's time to reclaim that space and become full Linux for keeps.<blockquote>4: Backups, Backups, Backups</blockquote>In order to help me do all this I've bought a new backup hard drive that covers my current SSD capacity. I already have a backup drive but it's only 500Gb (like my last SSD was) and is currently serving as a home for some other data anyway. Having a backup of your full system is something everyone should be doing, especially if you're as fiddle-friendly as I am. The threat of accidentally breaking something and losing everything is real. Snapper system snapshots are fantastic but still that extra layer of comfortable security would be appreciated. Not often you get to hit four birds with one stone...😁 Updates as they happen! :celeste_hearts_arch: <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/DistroHopper" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DistroHopper</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/CachyOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CachyOS</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/GarudaLinux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GarudaLinux</a>

EzlinHey there fellow <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> gamers. After reading about how <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fedora</a> is treating OBS, and the resulting legal threat that OBS was forced to issue, I'm considering moving to another distro.As much as I like <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/Nobara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nobara</a> I moved to Linux specifically to get away from arrogant, self-important corporations.I've considered <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/CachyOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CachyOS</a> or something else but I require the use of fractional scaling (one 1080p display, one 4K).Are any non-Fedora distros as plug'n'play as Nobara?
