Hello and welcome to the forum 
Anda anak Bali?
Are you from Bali?
Bali is UTC+8, masbro.
I live in the Jadetabek Megapolitan area.
Wow, thatās an extremely densely populated catchment area. Probably even the largest in the world.
I know Ja quite well. But the best thing about Ja is the train to B 
Thanks for the information.
I love your country and water.
Sorry for going off-topic.
Edit:
Oh yes, UTC+8 corresponds to WITA.
Hello, My name is Leon. Iām relatively new to Linux, just about 1 month. Am an aspiring shit captain, right now, just at the beginning of my career. Am very pleased to be part of the Linux community, most of all to be part of a new thing, such as a new OS. Canāt wait to see where the project goes. I started using Linux, because of my values, I would never support big tech, especially when they are actively working against my interests. Iām a shameless cyber pirate, always have been and always will be. Plus learning Linux, slowly but surely allows me to learn more about computing, and i see that also as a plus, if only I installed Linux when i was younger, then i wouldnāt waste so much time troubleshooting aimlessly windows.
How big shit are you captain of?
Hi all!
I am a software engineer that have been using Linux on and off for 30 years. As I work mostly in the .NET world, Windows has been my go to for too long now and I decided to try out Linux again as my main OS since gaming is actually viable. After some distro hopping and testing, I landed on CachyOS as the perfect mix between pre-configured, performance and general niceness.
My Linux journey started in 1995 when I got Red Hat bundled with a magazine. It was painful to install and painful to use, but I learned so much from the process and growed into enjoying the experience after a while.
During my university years, I used Slackware exclusively for everything. Much to the dismay of some of my professors since most people handed in Windows executables and Word docs, while I built it for Linux and used LaTex.
Been through Gentoo, Mandrake, Kali, Ubuntu, Linux Mint and others mostly on retired laptops to keep them alive and usable before I landed on Arch. Now, all my computers run on Arch or some derivative thereof, except the Mac I use for work.
So far, CachyOS has been nice to me, letting me play the games I prefer at the moment - Expedition 33, Shapez 2 and Satisfactory.
Hello, Iām Gossal.
Iām learning to use Linux with Cachyos on my laptop, which has the following specifications: i5-10300H, 16GB of dual channel RAM, and a GTX 1660Ti.
I couldnāt use it with Windows 11 because it was impossible; the CPU would go to 100% or the hard drive usage would go to 100% (SSD M2 Nvme).
I think itās incredible how well the computer works now, how fast and smooth everything runs, and how well Steam games and others load, using Heroic Launcher for example.
Greetings to all
Hello everyone, my name is Catherine (Cat). I installed CachyOS a week ago on my Razer Blade 15 laptop and so far I am loving it. My previous set up was Manjaro which I used for about 6 months before switching to Cachy and I have to say Cachy is fantastic. I have hybrid graphics - on board Intel GPU and dedicated Nvidia 3060. I was expecting this to be hard to configure but there was no need. Cachy set it up perfectly. Had some minor issues with Wayland artifacting after resuming from suspend but fixed that by preserving VRAM allocations. Today I have been having some trouble downloading from the package manager. Not sure if itās just me?! Anyway, good to be here. I look forward to sharing and learning and maybe making some friends along the way 
Hello and welcome!
Could you tell us in detail how you did that? I am having (probably) the same issue and no fix so far.
I did what was suggested here: Graphic bugs after sleep KDE Wayland Nvidia - #2 by xircon - Plasma - EndeavourOS
I was only getting the problem with a game that has old and very bad code so I created a script to set these options, made it executable and then set launch options in Steam to run the script upon launching the game. So far so good.
Just learning the ropes, of shit sailing. Nasty business.
Hi everyone!
My name is Mirek. Iāve been trying to switch to Linux for a long time now, but somehow I always ended up bouncing back to other systems.
CachyOS is the first distribution that actually made me stay in the Linux world for good. Iām really enjoying the experience so far!
Greetings from Poland! 
Yea, it surpassed Tokyo megapolitan area last year, though some people say Dhaka (Bangladesh) is on-track to surpass Jabodetabek.
Hello everyone! Iām returning to Linux after 18 years since I last used this system. Iām a backend and frontend developer. Iāve tried quite a few distros since Windows support ended, and Iāve settled on Cachy OS, delighted with its performance for my entire workflow and my personal needs for working on a 2013 PCāold, but I was sure it would perform very wellā¦ And indeed, I wasnāt wrong. Cheers to all!
My nickname is Neoray, or N3R. Iām a technical lead, and Iāve worked for numerous French ministries. Iām both a technical lead and an information systems architect. Iāve been passionate about Linux for years, and Iāve worked on many versions, both personally and professionally. I primarily use Debian, Linux Mint, and now CachyOS. I experienced the early days of Linux with distributions like GeexBox, Knoopix, Red Hat, and FreeBSD, when these distributions were only a few megabytes in size. Now Iām looking for a reliable and high-performance system, so it was only natural that I started testing CachyOS. Today, I find this OS version very efficient, and Iām happy to contribute to this project.
Greetings from Las Vegas. I am a long retired systems analyst / computer geek. I first used Linux back in the text-only 1990s setting up a Redhat mail server to unofficially replace/bypass a terribly unreliable US government proprietary mail server. I started using Linux full time when the presence of my multiboot Linux distros seemed to cause the free upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 to fail.
Iāve done my share of distro hopping but the last few years were mostly using MX Fluxbox. With the strong trend of Wayland replacing X11, I recently tried several current Wayland-ready distros, mostly Debian-based and most often KDE. Surprisingly, Q4OS 6 KDE was my top choice.
After trying a few Arch-based distros a few years ago, I decided to take a new look at the 2026 version of Cachy OS. So far it works well ā¦ no major surprises. I am not a gamer and performance is less important to me than stability (why I like Debian-based distros). So, for all of my Linux partitions, I chose EXT4 instead of Btrfs or ZFS. The last two donāt work well for multi-booting with the Grub Customizer app.
I made some distro-specific background images including 4 for CachyOS.
Fair warning..
Nothing works well with grub-customizer.
Its bad software that will likely break your boot under various circumstances and really is just superfluous with grub being a single, well commented, configuration file.
Best avoid it.
Your experience may be different from mine. Grub Customizer is clunky but has for years worked well for me (as a multi-booter) unlike the awful generated grub menus produced by so many distros. If you choose to use Btrfs, ZFS or XFS, stay away but if you stick to EXT4, FAT32, or NTFS partitions, you can probably avoid problems when you know what youāre doing,
In any case, when installing new distros, always keep a copy of Super Grub2 Disk on a USB stick to boot back into a reliable distro like MX Linux when a new distro more often than not finishes its installation by producing a new grub boot menu that does not include oneās existing distros.
For new distro testing, given my past experience, I now uncheck/disable the āinstall grub menuā since it is quicker to boot into my working grub menu and then run Grub Customizer from an existing reliable distro to add the new testing distro.
BTW, since I only use EXT4, FAT32 (boot) and NTFS partitions, Grub Customizer runs fine in CachyOS. I did have to uncomment the last line in the CachyOS /etc/default/grub file: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=āfalseā and chose to copy my /boot/grub folder from MX Linux to CachyOS to use the well-tested MX grub menu themes.
This has nothing to do with grub-customizer.
But It does sound as if this option is what you have been missing in other examples.
If you think grub-customizer is somehow āneededā in order for your various grubs to find other OSs.
Thats it.. just that one line. And grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg afterwards is all thats needed. I suppose if unfamiliar then grub-customizer seems more necessary?
What I wrote about earlier has very little to do with filesystem. Its about how grub-customizer works. āClunkyā is just the beginning. Even short of breaking things, which it does often, it might do silly stuff like duplicate entries. This is even common on deb/buntu based distros. And god help anyone using a setup that does not perfectly mirror ubuntu.
We have years upon years of grub-customizer being trash .. all the more so because it seems to be most attractive to users who do not know better and could not help themselves in the event of a problem.
If you think any of this is new or just my own personal opinion then I might suggest giving some search engines a whirl ..
Heres some examples from distros entirely unrelated to us;

Easy Linux Tips Project: Grub Customizer: why you shouldn't use it
Heres a pointed tutorial from one a bit closer;
Grub-Customizer - Tutorials - Manjaro Linux Forum
.. and from there you can continue your own studies.
But the conclusion should be the same - linux friends dont let linux friends use grub-customizer. 
Hello I discovered cachyos last year when I upgraded my game rig. I was looking for an alternative to win11. I am an IT and use to work with Solaris, Linux RedHat and Debian flavors. I have also played a lot with gentoo. I like everything in cachyos, easy to use, always the latest versions, easy to rollback and stable.
Just one drawback, it cannot run on my old tiny MacBook 12 8,1. Ubuntu run fine, but I cannot get cachyos get detecting my keyboard and touchpad (applespi).
Anyway big thanks to the cachyos team!
