  • No I think the claim was: Cachy IS arch.

    It adds a fancy installer and it’s own kernel and some other things. But that doesn’t make it less arch.

    So I gave an example from the other direction: if you take your arch and apply all the things that cachy does extra, it will still be arch.

    I think the key here is the word “distro”/“distribution”.

    If you take your arch and change the way software is distributed to it, by lets say uninstalling pacman and installing apt (and modifying everything else that’s related to this change so it works properly) then it would become debian.












  • 5 seconds? How?

    My grub is set to 2sec.

    From pressing the power on button to an open start menu (I measure like this because the DE is still unusable for a good 5s after it becomes visible) it takes me about 36 seconds.

    I recently tried hibernation thinking it would speed things up, but it takes about 2 minutes… huge RAM bad I guess.

    (And yes, windows on the same hardware is way faster at about 17s, because it does some magic idk about)



  • V * A = W

    The device operates at a certain wattage. If the voltage is lower, you need more amps to reach the same watt. Amps is what makes conductors hot.

    Example:

    200V * 1A = 200W

    100V * 2A = 200W


    To quote the link above that you didn’t read so I had to re-read to make sure I’m right:

    The issue stems from the difference in standardized voltages between regions, with the US running on 120 volts, compared to China’s 220 volts (where bambu is based). This requires almost twice the current for the same total power draw in the US compared to most other regions, contributing to higher temperatures being reached due to Ohm’s law.


    And about the ac adapter - it’s not the cause of the burning issues. And if they specc it for china’s 220V, it should work fine in most of europe.




  • Must be difficult if you judge an OS based on whether other users of it are nice online… how do you get anything done?

    Sarcasm aside, I used to mod ad artix community back when I was using it and it was 99% support requests that have already been answered somewhere else… so like most other linux communities. And I’ve seen my share of toxic people in most of them. I mean, maybe it changed for the worst from when I last experienced it, but then, just don’t participate in the community?

    The OS itself is alright. Pretty much same as arch, but you hage to tinker more… It gets somewhat annoying writing your own init/unit files for each app that needs systemd, thats why I switched back to plain old arch. I can see the tradeoff being worth it if you dislike the systemd direction/philosophy enough.

    And I hate that artix puts it’s flair on KDE, just give me the vanilla experience, I don’t want to manually remove your ugly theme.
