CachyOS is AMAZING. So many Arch based distros are beautiful and maybe add a few helper tools, but that is just theming and tools you can add to any Arch install. CachyOS is different down to its very foundation- it is a real quality distro that stands out substantively.

@pitape1822 6 месяцев назад

For me laptop user with a mix of AMD 780M IGPU and RTX 4060 DGPU! this aspect of CachyOS is key: "We are providing precompiled nvidia modules for every kernel. We are not relaying on nvidia-dkms anymore since Mid of November 2023. This helps to avoid issues with compatibility or the compilation with nvidia-dkms." Believe this can save lots of headaches (if done well of course). Great video A1rm4x!

@az9az9az9 5 месяцев назад

Hi. I also have 780M and 4060. I was wondering if there is battery life optimized kernel for AVX512? I would ideally be able to switch between different power levels, but is there way to make custom CPU speed limits? In Fedora and Kubuntu there was no way to fully power down 4060 Nvidia with Optimus GPU switcher and EnvyControl, how is this working in CachyOS?

I've been using it for more than a year now, its optimizations are noticeable, the staff is very responsive and updates are fairly punctual (there are no long delays for important packages as seen with ALHP). They also aim for sane defaults with is a refreshing user-centric approach. Have I mentioned the performance improvements, ah - I did. That is a big plus of course.

@bionicseaserpent Месяц назад

took 5 installs to get it to work today. wasn't at all better for me than what manjaro does (yk having 8gb of ram in modern day requires an os using less than a gig at all times) i can say most arch distros won't do this but i was trilled to see it download my 391.157 driver no questions asked. once i get off this 2012 laptop i might be happy to switch. but i'll also be on a Radeon so it really wouldn't matter.

@GabrielChapdelaine 6 месяцев назад

Salut A1rnax, j'aurais une question je pense passer à Arch prochainement et je sais que tu as utilisé EndeavourOS pendant longtemps et maintenant CachyOS depuis un certain temps. Laquelle de c'est distribution tu aimes le plus et est la plus stable et facile à faire la maintenance. Merci beaucoup et très bon vidéos en passant. 👍

@A1RM4X 6 месяцев назад

Salut Gabriel! Pour commencer et apprendre a maintenir Arch, je conseillerai EndeavourOS parceque la distro est moins customisée. Une fois que tu as la distro en main, et si tu en sens le besoin, tu peux passer sur CachyOS. Pour profiter au max de Cachy, il faut comprendre ce qu elle propose et ca me parait plus difficile sans avoir certaines bases sur Arch (moins de support pour les debutants sur CachyOS). Pour la stabilité et la maintenance, aucune difference. C'est du Arch avec repo Arch (solide si tu sais ce que tu fais).

@_dev_null_ 2 месяца назад

I had a great time on Garuda for a month and a half before it broke and I switched to Arch. My experience is that Arch variants with menus like this don't have you do the core command line interactions that teach you how the OS works. I'ts always a problem when something breaks, because you haven't learned how to fix it.

@Kemyo0 4 месяца назад

What does rank mirrors do ? I installed cachy os on a secondary ssd to try it out but i'm a complete noob;

@JD-qo9wk Месяц назад

The way I understand it is that it basically performs a speedtest on all the available mirrors and orders them based on best to worst connection. Then when you download packages, etc. it will attempt to use the highest ranked mirror first and if that's not available, it'll try the next one down, and so on...

Sadly undervolting with Nvidia is not available on Linux yet. To get this function we need to ask Nvidia directly.

@skaifer1715 4 месяца назад

Tried CachyOS myself and... It's a great project, and looking at the comments, people enjoy it and see the benefits. In my particular case, though, I got more issues, than Nobara. Wake from sleep ends up with black screen, Nvidia Wayland does not work at all, app startup time differs anywhere from 1 sec to 5 seconds. Spectacle opens so slow, that sometimes I wonder whether I pressed the keys correctly or not. Other than these issues, which I'm sure are fixable, this is a great distro. I'm just looking for a perfect distro for my setup, which would work the best out of the box. So far it is Bazzite. Will try BlendOS now, and I hope it's my final distrohop before anchoring to it or back to Bazzite 🐰

@BeastViper007 7 месяцев назад

You need to uninstall the synaptics driver on your CachyOS system. Search for it via "pacman -Qs synaptics" then copy the package name and do "sudo pacman -R " and reboot. Then configure it in settings. I also had the same issue and I had to fix it on my own.

@Kali-xw9dg Месяц назад

Ça a l'air sympa comme distribution, comme tu le dis, mais le problème, c'est qu'il faut presque être administrateur système/dev/testeur juste pour avoir un OS qui te permet d'utiliser "100%" de ton matériel. Je préfère avoir 10% de performance en moins et que tout fonctionne, que ce soit stable, et passer plus de temps à jouer qu'à tweaker. J'ai beau être passionné et avoir les mains dans Debian toute la journée, le soir j'ai juste envie que ça marche. On commence doucement à y arriver malgré l'EAC, mais de façon générale, ça commence à être acceptable. Avec l'IA, je ne comprends pas que ce ne soit pas plus exploité pour scripter et automatiser tout ce qui est possible, y compris les patchs du git que tu as montrés. En tout cas, merci. Petit à petit, tu changes mon avis sur Arch, mais pour moi, la bonne méthode, c'est celle de Valve. Ça n'avance pas vite, mais ils évitent les régressions. et merci de parler de linux avec enthousiasme sans le coté fanboy c'est cool :). Bonne continuation !
