Finished plants vs zombies classic in one sitting, lol. Whole stream was 8 hours and 50 minutes.

Used to play it some 15 years ago. Well It WAS 15 years ago when I last played it on a Windows XP machine. It's good to replay some of those old games on Arch, btw.

I'm planning to replay Outlast next stream.

In case anyone on Arch or derivatives have any issues with location-dependent features not working on KDE (such as the sunrise/sunset times for Night Light):

Arch/CachyOS user? KDE geolocation services not working? Here's the fix.

Pancakes, maple syrup, marmalades, salmons, blueberry and jams, and honey... Oh hello there! I'm just doing my own stuff here. Don't mind me ! Before you leave, I just wanna say, I use Arch, btw :p Yeah I don't talk on streams or my vids. I don't like hearing my voice when I'm watching my own videos. As for streams, I really have no obligation to speak & entertain you. I'm doing all of this for free. Don't worry though cos I'll talk when I wanna talk, but really, I just wanna flex my Arch Linux rig, unlimited bandwidth and game skill (or lack thereof, lol)

I’m moving my daily driver from my home-built Ryzen 7 5800X3D desktop to a System76 Pangolin Pro running CachyOS.

The RX 7800 becomes an OCuLink eGPU. The old desktop gets an RX 7600 and becomes my 11-year-old’s first full-time Linux PC.

Portable workstation, docked gaming, local AI, and one less Windows machine in the house.

Why I’m Replacing My Home-Built 5800X3D Desktop with a System76 Pangolin Pro

I bought a System76 Pangolin Pro with my own money and am moving my RX 7800 to it as an OCuLink eGPU. Here’s why it makes sense for my Linux workflow.

#CachyOS #Linux seems to be making the news recently. Arch looks like a very unusual choice though.

CachyOS — Blazingly Fast OS based on Arch Linux

🚀 CachyOS is a performance-optimized Arch Linux distribution with CPU-specific package builds, advanced kernel scheduling, and an effortless installation — delivering measurable speed gains without sacrificing simplicity.

I want the same #gaming #performance as #CachyOS but I stay on #Arch. CachyOS is basically Arch with preconfigured tweaks. I build the same setup myself, so I know what every single #screw does and why it is there. No #ballast I do not understand, full #control. If something breaks, I know exactly where to look.

My #plan:

1. #CachyOS #repo and #BORE #kernel
2. #sysctl tweaks
3. #udev #scheduler rules
4. #amdpstate, preferred core
5. split lock off
6. #ananicy
7. #gamemode
8. #GEProton
9. #mesagit
10. #RADV transfer queue
11. #GPU performance level
12. #EXPO in the #BIOS

Funny detail: the #CachyOS #wiki itself has a #guide for Arch users who do not want to switch but want full control.

Definitely gonna check out this version once the stable comes out. I heard there's independent desktop per monitor thingy and it's all I need cos I still use i3.

And that it has the new silly numbers.

I'll still probably move back to i3wm until Valve updates the Steam Deck's KDE there to 6.7 or greater as well
