Is it time to hop from fedora to a arch/cachyos

I wanted to go arch or cachyos from the beginning of ising linux, but saw that alot of people dont recommended that, so i started with fedora to learn the basics

So far what i learned is how to use the terminal for opening files, downloading, and searching for stuff in the pc, also i leanred how to config hyperland, waybar and wayland and so on, would that be enough to go to arch/cachyos

I wanted to seitch because they are more Minimalistic, efficienct and give more performance and more customization, less bloat

Which one should i chose? I always heard people recommending arch, but lately cachy have been gaining alot of attention

Inspired by PnP games, I created TermDecks, printable reference cards for the Linux terminal

https://zntznt.com/termdecks/

Build printable, poker-sized reference cards for the terminal, then study them with the built-in spaced-repetition quiz.

How it works

Each section becomes a card. Long sections spill onto extra cards automatically.
Card front lists the commands; the back shows their questions.
Print lays cards out 9-up and double-sided. What you see is what prints.
Quiz mode resurfaces weak cards more often (spaced repetition).

Easy Clip Studio on Linux!!

The 2d artist that want to escape windows and still use clip studio. this youtube channel https://youtu.be/iYhEm32Lr4Y?si=MiyHFBUm9yfaoe1U has a very simple install script and method for clip studio 5.0. full access to login,3d assets, cloud sync, icons for app menu and no brush lag. you dont have to mess with bottles,wine any of it .

The only thing i had to do was change the 3d render to normal instead of fast so that the 3d assets didnt freak out when dropping on to the canvas.

my setup is linux mint on a geekom a9 max. hx370 w/890m 96gb ddr5. Wacom 16 (2025) and tested with xp pen artist pro 19 gen 2also. Not sure of other distros tho. Definitely check it out.

Kraid: A new Rust-based compiler for Panfrost (Mali GPU)

Collabora has merged Kraid into Mesa, a ground-up rewrite of the Panfrost shader compiler for Arm Mali GPUs, now written in Rust. The old Bifrost-era compiler had too many structural limitations to fix incrementally, so we started fresh with a cleaner IR, new register allocator, and an encoder derived from Arm-provided XML.

Linux driver W

I just recently got a wakom intuos tablet to try writing little things on my left.

When I plugged it into my Linux desktop it just. Worked.

Meanwhile, my work laptop is windows and not only did the drivers not come with the machine, I recently lost admin rights on my laptop so I cant even install them if I wanted.

Those in the know understand this is because wakom drivers are in the Linux kernel which is just so nice. But just an appreciation post for when Linux is not only as good as the competition that blows it out of the water in stuff that normies care about, having your hardware work ootb without technical knowledge, beautiful.

The fastest storage validator for Linux (Open-Source)

Hey everyone,

I recently bought a barely used 4TB M.2 SSD at a steep discount. Of course, the first thing you want to do with a cheap, used drive is verify that it actually has the stated capacity so you don't get burned by fake firmware.


When looking for validation tools on Linux, the typical options are running fio scripts, badblocks, or piping dd streams. But these present a few problems. badblocks is ancient and severely bottlenecks modern PCIe 4.0/5.0 NVMe drives, fio is unintuitive and primarily a benchmarking tool. You can configure it to do almost the same as EVFY (fio uses a PRNG, not CSPRNG) but this results in a CPU bottleneck since fio's PRNG engine is too slow.

I decided to create a modern, open-source replacement in Rust called Entropy Verify (EVFY). I gave my best to put together all the technical pieces that would make for a great storage validation software.
EVFY features:

Direct I/O: Bypasses OS RAM caching to force raw reads and writes.

Multi-threaded Worker Architecture: Pins worker threads to CPU cores and pipelines async I/O to max out NVMe speeds.

Cryptographic Checks: Generates uncompressible data via AES-NI streams and verifies integrity using the BLAKE3 hashing engine.

TUI Interface: Displays real-time thread workloads, throughput, and block metrics using the Ratatui crate. Pressing [Tab\] switches between decimal and binary units.

Safety Guardrails: Hardcoded blocks to stop you from accidentally executing a test on operating system root partitions (C:\\ or /). Cross-Platform compatibility: Supports Windows and Linux (utilizing io_uring on modern kernels, fallback for older kernels is included and works out of the box).

Verification Reports: Generates a markdown report on the target volume with performance metrics and block corruption logs.

The code is open-source, uses the AGPL-3.0 license and is ready for auditing/contributions. If you have a sketchy or new high-capacity drive you need to stress test or validate at maximum transfer speeds feel free to take a look at the project.

sched: Extend cache-aware scheduling into topology-aware scheduling

There is new proposal for topology-aware scheduling (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260625030759.25928-1-wujianyong@hygon.cn/T/#m23b863f008641d7b2f5e698a72e0c0917e9e8e06) which aims to improve upon cache-aware scheduling (https://lwn.net/Articles/1018334/). Numbers are looking very good in the patch set.
