I’m actually on CachyOS now. I’ve got a list of stuff I need to fix with it unfortunately. Namely issues with monitors, and some finicky stuff with USB devices that I’ve got to unplug after every wake on sleep, plus a handful of other items I don’t notice as often.
But it does work, so I haven’t been too unhappy with it. It’s just the time to fix things that bugs me sometimes.
Debating reinstalling again since there’s been some major changes like ditching Octopi and Cachy Package manager for Shelly. Plus I’ve kinda wanted something different from KDE and now that they’ve got Noctalia in the default installer it seemed appealing.
Lol I’m not one for doing updates too frequently so I did miss the AUR issue. I saw the news, but hadn’t updated so I was in the clear
NGL I haven’t had much experience with the package managers because I’ve been installing everything with the konsole via pacman -S and flatpak install flathub commands or manually if needed. I’m surprised to hear about the USB devices issue, even my analogue audio interface worked plug and play and I’ve never had to reseat them.
I can count on one hand the number of times I used Octopi so it’s not a big loss. But I heard good things about Shelly so I was thinking of giving it a whirl.
The USB thing, man, my microphone and my wireless receiver for my controller, both those damn things have to be unplugged on wake every time before they work. Couldn’t find any bios settings related to it as I thought it could be a power setting, but I’ve come up short. Plus (i think it’s) X Window Manager won’t recognize my actual primary monitor as my primary monitor and instead chooses to default to my 90 degree rotated monitor until log in. Never mind what KDE says is primary or the file for XWM says…
There’s some other small gripes, but I’ve just been living with it for the time being.
