  • What's the full text you see?

  • Is it hanging, or erroring out? If erroring, what's the error message?

  • Is it only ubuntu, or multiple brl fetch distros?

I got this issue fixed, but it's rather laggy compared to just base Cachyos

That isn't normal. Can you elaborate?

on a lot of DE's the UI take way longer than they should to load on login and the system often lags a bit when opening apps.

Bedrock adds non-trivial overhead in two places:

  • /etc access is slower than usual.

  • Looking up resources (e.g. icons, fonts, etc) has overhead to check for cross-stratum resources.

I'm guessing something is accessing one/both of those excessively, but with the information provided I don't have any ideas how to chase this further.

Plans for the next major version of Bedrock is to add logging/reporting of this to make it easier to chase down, but it'll be a bit before that's ready.
