People used to leave their PCs running 24/7 due to the fear of thermal expansion causing hard drive failure. It's not a problem anymore as far as I know, but this practice stuck with a lot of old power users.
It wasn't quite as silly when PCs didn't draw so much power.
The sleep functionality has historically been unreliable at best so that gets avoided as well.
Now, in 2026, even if I'm just going outside for 20 minutes I'll sleep the machine, unless it's doing something in particular.
To use the AUR on Cachy you simply use paru instead of pacman. It is a frontend to pacman, and lets you search / install from the AUR as if it's in the main repo.
Edit: side note, I'm really happy to see the windows power users coming over, you guys switching is what will really push adoption imo.
The way I do this is to bind the torrent client to the mullvad network interface. In qbittorrent for example, in the advanced options, I set mine to only use wg-mullvad. If the wg-mullvad iface goes down, the torrent client simply has no connection.
I prefer the tty over session managers because I generally throw in a system update before starting the gui in case it warrants a reboot. Also if you're feeling spicy you can tell it to load the desktop on a specific GPU with $ DRI_PRIME=1 startplasma-wayland, for example.
This is the real issue. If ReactOS actually became useful, Microsoft will act against them. Doesn't matter how cleanly they reverse engineered their implementation, ReactOS most likely don't have the funds to deal with any legal battles.

Using zram I hope? Really transforms low memory machines.

We get AI slop in a changelog now? Fuck this timeline.
You may be able to disable the internal Bluetooth entirely via BIOS.
Seems like 9 gnome devs use lemmy.
They mention using flatpaks and snaps.
From the website: "Apps primarily come from Flatpak and Snap."
Putting snap on an arch derived distro is disgusting.
Side note, I hope you're making use of zram!

Valve are doing the ARM experiment with the Steam Frame.
They mentioned not wanting to release a Steam Deck 2 until there was a significant performance upgrade available.
In my opinion an ARM chip with the FEX translation overhead isn't going to be it just yet, it will probably be another AMD SoC.
This made me wonder, with FEX couldn't Valve release steam for android? Steam library on your phone sounds good to me.
My feedback: pick a different name, I thought this was void linux related.
Let's not shorten his name to Turtle. 😓
Development was so slow that the project was effectively dead after E16, users moved on.

I like the extra control basically.
