  • ryzen ai 395 capped to 70w (2026/02/04 02:42)
    I just bought an Asus rog flow z13 with the ryzen ai max 395+. Performance is really good and it works amazingly on Linux. The problem is that on windows I get 80w on the performance mode and up to 93w on manual mode. But on Linux I cant get over 65-70w, tried with all possible configurations: - Default kernel, zen and g14 asus kernel - Power profiles daemon, cpu power and asus tog control - Ryzenadj and asusctl In ryzen adj for example I cant make it change to any tdp but after 1-2 minutes goes back to 65w, its the stamp tdp which is limiting. I know over 65w the chip is not as efficient, but going from 65w to 93w changes my borderlands 4 gameplay from 50fps to 60fps for example, and as my main device I really apreciate that change in performance. Any idea whats is limiting me to that tdp? submitted by /u/EdgarEggcar [link] [comments]
  • Can’t open nvim in kitty regularly (2026/02/03 23:27)
    so a couple months ago I had an issue with nvim opening in gnome terminal instead of kitty, I did manage to resolve it a .desktop file however now it’s happening again, I’ve already tried my steps but it does absolutely nothing so I’m wondering if like there’s something special I have to do with my .desktop file that I’m forgetting? Right now it’s just called nvim.desktop and its contents are Name=Neovim (kitty) Terminal=true Exec=kitty -e nvim %F I’ve done nothing else with the desktop file just created it and done that I know I’m not supposed to have the terminal line as that brings up a log window but I’m just grasping at straws to see any sort of progress but nada I did try to uninstall the gnome-console but then had to delete every other terminal aside from kitty that I had installed for it to actually use kitty and then when it finally did all the characters aside from the text look weird and its in reverse colours, I wanted to see if opening nvim as an app would fix this, it opened in kitty but had the weird colour thing, this just started happening and I have no idea why it was working perfectly normal not 15 minutes ago submitted by /u/lolololloloolmemes [link] [comments]

    Hello :) I am having an issue where the Mediatek wifi on my motherboard is no longer being recognized. I attempted to dual boot Fedora on a separate SSD to try it out and the wifi stopped working. That drive is now removed and I have plugged in a separate PCIE card for now which works.

  • Minecraft eating up all available ram on arch (2026/02/03 15:18)
    Hi, I have recently downloaded prism launcher for minecraft and installed some mods for speedrunning the game. Following mods are installed: antigone-1.16.1-2.0.0.jar seedqueue-1.6+1.16.1.jar antiresourcereload-5.2.0+1.16.1.jar sleepbackground-4.1+1.16.1.jar atum-2.7.1+1.16-1.16.1.jar sodium-2.5.1+1.16.1.jar chunkumulator-1.1.1+MC1.16.1.jar speedrunapi-2.1+1.16-1.16.1.jar fast-reset-2.4.1+1.16.x.jar SpeedRunIGT-16.0+1.16.1.jar forceport-1.3.0.jar standardsettings-2.3+1.16-1.16.1.jar krypton-1.16.1-backport-0.1.3-SNAPSHOT+2021-02-20.jar starlight-1.3.0+1.16.x-backport-1.1.3.jar lazydfu-0.1.2.jar state-output-1.2.3+1.16-1.18.1.jar lazystronghold-1.1.4+1.16.1.jar voyager-1.0.1.jar lithium-1.0+backport-0.6.7+1.16.1.jar worldpreview-6.3.1+1.16-1.16.1.jar mcsrfairplay-1.1.4+1.16.1.jar As for java I am using the zulu8 jdk from aur (but have used graalvm21 and 25 and also openjdk17) with these settings: -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:G1NewSizePercent=30 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=40 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=8M -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:G1HeapWastePercent=5 -XX:G1MixedGCCountTarget=4 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=15 -XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=90 -XX:G1RSetUpdatingPauseTimePercent=5 -XX:SurvivorRatio=32 -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=1 The allocated ram is set (in the launcher) to min. memory: around 5gb and max. memory around 8gb When starting Minecraft, I saw the ram (in free -h) go down from 25gb available to around 20gb, which would be fine in this case, as the min. memory was set to around 5gb and after like 10-20 seconds it dropped to 13gb immediately. Then I started generating the worlds in a wall style (so 9 worlds at a time) and the ram started dropping to around 5-6gb free. after choosing a seed and playing for like 10 minutes the ram was literally at 1-2gb and started swapping (I have an 8gb swap mount) and after some time it just oom-killed everything (browser and minecraft). Is there any known fix for that? Also I've tried a different launcher (curseforge) with the same mods and settings and got the same behavior, so I don't think it's launcher dependent. Testing the same settings, same java, same setup on windows works perfectly fine but I don't really want to use windows just to play minecraft. My specs: OS: Arch (+ Hyprland) 6.18.5 kernel GPU: Radeon RX6800XT CPU: Intel I5 12600kf RAM: Corsair 32gb@3500mhz (strange clock but somehow works the best for my system) P.S. I've tried usind jmalloc with minecraft but no luck unfortunately. I also used ZGC instead of g1gc but also nothing. submitted by /u/Pakuss1337 [link] [comments]

  • Can I preserve a customized Mac using Macchanger after suspension? (2026/02/03 13:49)
    Hi, I'm using an Ethernet connection and I have a custom MAC address set up that changes from my real one every time I start the system using a service called macchanger. But when I suspend the computer for the first time and then restart it, my MAC address reverts to my real one, and I have to manually start the service to change it back to the custom one.

  • `pacman -syu` says there is nothing to do (2026/02/03 12:58)
    Title edit: "-Syu" instead of "-syu" I realized a week ago I hadn't updated my system in a bit, so I put the command in, and it said this. I thought first that maybe i forgot about a recent update and went nvm, but after doing it a couple times since, and the same thing showing up, and like arch being such bleeding edge I find it hard to believe there's not a single thing to do? is there a server issue going on nowadays that went under my radar? UPD1: updated mirrorlist using the generator on archlinux.org/mirrorlist and then did an Syu. it's taking a longer time than earlier runs which i assume is because of the new mirrors. once it goes through, if the same behaviour as before is seen i'll try reflector UPD2: it was very slow and went on for way too long, i used rankmirrors and that improved speed and that's what worked. thank you UPD3: reflector kept failing with some python-ish error that I didn't have time to investigate submitted by /u/whoShotMyCow [link] [comments]

  • Resolution issues running Arch on a Thinkpad E14 Gen 4 (2026/02/02 21:37)
    I bought a 4th gen E14 second-hand as a replacement for my 3rd gen E14. I thought I'd be smart and put the NVMe from my 3rd gen over to my 4th gen laptop to save myself the troubles of having to redo my entire setup. Everything works as is, but the only thing that troubles me is that the screen resolution refuses to go beyond 1366x768. When using the original NVMe of the 4th with Windows 11 on it, it displayed 1920x1080 without any issues what-so-ever, but I can't even find the option now that I put my 3rd gen NVMe in it. I ought to mention that I have set the resolution accordingly in the grub config file, refreshed grub accordingly, and then restarting my laptop afterwards. There's still much I have yet to learn as a Linux user. Is there a fix I have missed, or am I better off putting back the original NVMe in the 4th Gen E14 and just do a clean reinstall?

  • Users passwords not working (2026/02/02 19:58)
    I recently installed arch with cinnamon (6.6) on my stationary pc. Almost everything works as it should, but i can't login as a user in the sddm. I can get around it though, because TTY lets me login without problems. From there I can use startx /usr/bin/cinnamon-session, however, the GUI still doesn't accept my password (in other authentications and such), and can't use the terminal as an ordinary user. I know the password is correct, and I have reset it multiple times, and (don't attack me for this) asked chatgpt for alot of help, because I can't find anyone else having the same problem as me. No matter what chatgpt recommends, nothing works. I was hoping someone here has experienced this problem before, or might know what is wrong and how to fix it. submitted by /u/ludn8 [link] [comments]

  • Security and encryption help (2026/02/02 18:23)
    (Newbie) I installed Arch the other day and i realized that i never encrypted my partitions or something, i just followed the installation guide and nailed it (more or less). Can someone please tell me where in the wiki to read in order for me to learn how to make my system more secure? Also, i would appreciate links thay maybe you guys think would help me, thanks. submitted by /u/Ill_Seat_7755 [link] [comments]
  • Siemens NX (2026/02/02 12:07)
    I've just recently switched to Arch from Windows. I need Siemens NX 11.0 (and likely other engineering software in the future) for my classes. Is there any way to run it other than dual-booting or using a Windows VM? submitted by /u/burunkanamasi [link] [comments]
  • FAQ - Read before posting (2018/07/04 22:56)
    First read the Arch Linux FAQ from the wiki Code of conduct How do I ask a proper question? Smart Questions XYProblem Please follow the standard list when giving a problem report. What AUR helper should I use? There are no recommended AUR helpers. Please read over the wiki entry on AUR helpers. If you have a question, please search the subreddit for previous questions. If your AUR helper breaks know how to use makepkg manually. I need help with $derivativeDistribution Use the appropriate support channel for your distribution. Arch is DIY distribution and we expect you to guide us through your system when providing support. Using an installer defeats this expectation. Why was the beginners guide removed? It carried a lot of maintenance on the wiki admin as it duplicated a lot of information, and everyone wanted their addition included. It was scrapped for a compact model that largely referenced the main wiki pages. Why Arch Linux? Arch compared to other distributions Follow the wiki. Random videos are unsupported. <plug>Consider getting involved in Arch Linux!</plug> submitted by /u/Foxboron [link] [comments]
