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.
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.
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.
