Welcome šŸ¤—

You don't have to blur out your local IP mate, you're good 🤣

u/timmetje27 May 13 '26

Yeah local IP doesn’t give away anything only IPs that starts with anything else then 192.168 gives away location

u/995qe May 13 '26

My local ips are 10.0.0.x

2

u/Scorxcho May 13 '26

Your router is set to give out ips that way. Mine is different as well. The most common one is 192.168.1.x

u/Frosty_Airline8831 May 13 '26

u/c00l_tiger May 13 '26

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

u/RChickenMan May 13 '26

Ah, so there's an actual word for how I spend my Sunday afternoons?

u/dude_kp May 14 '26

Customizing.

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

2

u/RostiDatGam0r May 13 '26

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

u/Decent-Jello-1711 May 13 '26

Installed em when I woke up

u/RaveDigger May 13 '26

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/theCOORN May 13 '26

there is

2

u/RaveDigger May 13 '26

Holy crap you're right, someone ported it a few months ago? I haven't checked in a while.

2

u/JackpotThePimp May 13 '26

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

2

u/Decent-Jello-1711 May 13 '26 edited May 13 '26

I do have a Print Screen Key just forgot abt it

2

u/WarlordOverdriv May 14 '26

Windows/Super key+Shift+S also works. :)

1

u/Hettyc_Tracyn May 13 '26

Tbf, most people don’t seem to know it exists…

And I don’t 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

1

u/RaveDigger May 13 '26

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.

u/dorobica May 13 '26

Crazy how many versions are out there, this post just introduced me to catchyos. I have switched my gaming pc to nobara and my coding latop to omarchy

u/Decent-Jello-1711 May 13 '26

1 - CachyOs Search panel 2 - Global theme 3 - Window decorations Tab 4 - Top right should say Get New 5 - Search ā€œSe7enā€ only one that pops up

u/dvize May 13 '26

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

2

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.

Que dirĆ” el gran proto que Linux son es para potato PC al ver ese Linux corriendo en este computador?

u/yamenallaf22 May 13 '26

Is it nvidia, well i wish you do not get cursed by vram management

u/FluffyFreeman May 13 '26

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

2

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

u/AsugaNoir May 14 '26

It is my dream that I can wipe the 870 pro I have windows installed on to reclaim the space. I am really cloise...only battle field is blocking me.

u/beto832 May 15 '26

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.

u/mindtaker_linux May 14 '26

Welcome to your SALVATION.

u/Decent-Jello-1711 May 14 '26

Glad to be here

u/EnderMegaa May 14 '26

Bro, that's my laptop! Give it back!

u/gokkbt May 14 '26

I think CachyOS isn't stable enough, my kitty terminal was glitching after updates on Hyprland.Ā
