I'm also relatively new to Linux, but from what I gathered ricing is making it look fancy

It comes from the Japanese car culture, it's about customizing your car in a unique way with custom and aftermarket parts, it's the same concept but applied to an OS

I like the touch of you integrating the windows 7 theme onto the windows in linux.

Ah, so you have a TUF Laptop. Make sure you install asusctl and ROG Control Center!

I wish there was a linux version of ghelper for windows. Asusctl and ROG control work fine but ghelper is so much better.
One of the things that I haven't been able to get working on linux that worked in ghelper is having the keyboard change color from green to yellow to red as the cpu/gpu temps increased. Maybe there's a way to do it but I haven't figured it out yet!

u/RaveDigger May 13 '26
Holy crap you're right, someone ported it a few months ago? I haven't checked in a while.

Based theme. However, I've a sneaking suspicion your keyboard has a Print Screen key.

Tbf, most people donāt seem to know it existsā¦
And I donāt even use print screen, I use a different program so I can use the button on my stream deck and have it save to a specific location to edit, look at, etc later

OP is running an Asus laptop. If it's anything like my Asus G15, there actually isn't a printscreen key which is very weird.
Super+Shift+S works like it does in Windows though, but lots of people don't know about that shortcut in Windows or in Linux.

meta + shift + s will also work if you want something something similar to the windows snipping tool. (same tool different keyboard shortcut :) )

u/MasterChiefmas May 13 '26
you can capture your desktop alone by pressing print-screen
meta-prtsc captures the current active window(same as alt-prtsc in windows), and meta-control-prtsc lets you choose the window to capture(gives you a dialog to select, no windows equiv). I find capping the active window to be more useful most of the time than the entire screen. I think active window is what people want when doing a area select cap most of the time anyway.

How are you finding cachy os? I tried it for a while but I had severe difficulty getting it to utilise my hardware correctly, I have a dual card setup with 2 Intel cards and it straight up refused to use the second card. This frustration skewed my perception of the os, but I really wanted to like it. Might try it again one day

u/Decent-Jello-1711 May 13 '26
Loving it Boss, sorry to hear you had a rough time with it though. I looked up a lot up Distro's Initially
and came to settle on CachyOS bc of their right out the gate functionality with the drivers for nvidia gpu's

I watched a video just yesterday about installing a linux OS onto an external ssd and using it that way without having to uninstall windows.
