  • That’s also true, but I have experienced an occasional issues when it would be stuck on downloading some package at 10 KiB/s because of bad mirror. Parallel downloads likely wouldn’t have helped in this case since it would select the same mirror. Obviously both issues need to be fixed though.

    I’ve got a problem with port forwarding I can’t get working, never had that problem before and I don’t know network stuff well enough to figure it out.

    Docs says that CachyOS has UFW firewall enabled by default. You can search how to configure it, it seems quite easy.

    The updates are the winner for me- I don’t know how long this has been a thing with arch but downloading multiple packages at the same time. Game changer. I love Tumbleweed, but a 2gb “zypper dup” downloading package by package could take me 30 - 60 minutes.

    It’s usually the issue with automatic mirror selection. If you interrupt zypper using ctrl-c (only when it’s downloading, not installing of course) then it should select a faster mirror next time you run it. Zypper devs really should work on this though.




  • Fish is a replacement of bash that’s a bit more user friendly (has some cool auto completion features out of the box and more sane behaviour like handling of spaces when expanding variables). I personally started to use nutshell recently but unlike fish it’s very different from bash.

    Starship is a “prompt” for various shells (that bit of text in terminal before you enter the command that shows current user and directory in bash). I haven’t used it but AFAIK it has many features like showing current time, integration with git, etc.

    Even it wasn’t Google, you can’t self-host RCS backend. So it would have been carrier’s servers or someone else’s. Given that end-to-end encryption is not a part of the standard yet (and it won’t be mandated anyway), having an open source client would offer no privacy benefits.



  • Ryzen 9000 and AI 300 are Zen 5, 8840 is Zen 4.

    There is also generally no connection between the name of the model and actual hardware generation, AMD is known to sell old CPUs under new names (yes they are scummy like that). For example Ryzen 7000 can be Zen 4, Zen 3 or even Zen 2. You need to look up specific model name to learn what CPU core it has. So far though Ryzen 9000 and Ryzen AI are all Zen 5.
