I understand your point; on my other machine (experimental setup), it's all barebones, TTY only for performance.

On this rig, though (even if it's not the fastest). I have more resources to spare, so I like to have something different to stare at than my TTY setup xD.

The reason that I have this dock at the bottom is for a couple of members of this household. That way they can use my system as well. They're not used to Linux, let alone a DM like Niri. I did run KDE before, but the Niri workflow fits my needs more :)

The next thing you're telling me is that you don't need man at all.

Straight from the TTY, booting into a session :P

Hmm, interesting. I'm going to look into that for when V5 releases; thanks for the information!

So I ditched KDE completely since my last post. What do you think of my setup so far? I tweaked it a little, including new hotkeys and software.

Environment:

  • CachyOS
  • NiriWM
  • Noctalia (custom themed)

Extra Software (some custom shortcuts made for):

  • Satty (screenshot tool)
  • Swaylock (Customized SDDM)
  • kitty
  • Adguard-cli
  • Picocrypt (CLI)
  • Namida (music player highly recommended for Linux and Android; also works on degoogled phones).

Question: Is it strange to use SDDM with Niri? Some folks switch to another DM.

Edit: added a .gif to show off the desktop better.

And my last post since I could recommend games for days xD.

Demonstar: Original Missions (1999 re-released in 2024 with some fine upgrades) not on sale but only 3 euros.

Try out Distance, a race game where you have to dodge objects. It also features a great soundtrack.

Hello friends, it has been a while. I posted my Linux Mint + i3 setup way back under my lemmy.social account before I switched to this server. I thought after CachyOS with KDE, my distro hopping/ricing was over, but nope.

Furthermore, I present to you my take on ricing CachyOS:

CachyOS (Clean Niri + Noctalia) (KDE is available as a backup system, soon to be removed completely).

Kitty and plenty of useful tools in the terminal. I started to become a terminal junkie. Not what I expected after getting comfy with Mint back then, but here we are!

My wallpaper was originally downloaded via ColorWall (a wallpaper program for Linux). To make it a little more accessible to you guys, I uploaded my FHD wallpaper lossless to: https://u.cubeupload.com/Freakazoid/ColorWallkwvjv7.jpg

Edit: Removed duplicate screenshot.

Yep I agree, if it where to work on Linux I might consider it hopefully fully playable OFFLINE. If I where to buy the game it will probably be the cheapest version tho. 100 euros for a game is quite a lot.

On the other hand, there is also a option I skip the game entirely. FH6 worked flawless on Linux for about 20 hours. After that the save game somehow became corrupt and I can't play anymore. Talking about wasted money. I am even more skeptical of these online games now. 🫣

I understand, in Grayjay that is working as far as I know. It shows me videos based on my previously watched content. So that should work.

Maybe invidious or use freetube.

There is also grayjay, and while it works pretty fine I believe there where some controversies around the program even tho I don't know the reason.

Hello guys,

I've been using Cachyos for like a year or so; I switched to it after daily driving Mint for 2 years. With CachyOS, I installed limine and Btrfs. The reason being that I like its snapshot capabilities. I was just minding my own business and booting my system like normal. But I decided to check out the snapshots.

There I noticed that the newer snapshots were missing. So I booted the system like usual and opened Btrfs Assistant. Then I went to the tab called 'snapper' and saw that the last rule had the value 50 (see screenshot). It told me my boot partition was running out of space, so for now, I would like to limit the number of snapshots to keep. (Too lazy to perform a boot partition resize right now.)

My question is, does that number 50 represent the number of total snapshots my OS tries to make/keep?

I will increase the boot partition when I have time (if needed, for now I reduced the value to 10; I don't know why it was 50 to begin with).

Thanks in advance!
