Hello, new here.
I used Debian before and CachyOS for 2 days, but wanted to try something new…
I encountered some problems after installation, and managed to solve most of them:
- Long unlock time with Btrfs/LUKS1/full disk encryption/GRUB2 – about 1 minute:
Solution:
part="/dev/nvme0n1p2" # my root partition (check with lsblk)
sudo cryptsetup luksDump $part # Shows iterations in each slot.
sudo cryptsetup luksOpen --test-passphrase --key-slot 0 $part # Tests if the password is in slot 0; two slots were occupied.
sudo cryptsetup luksChangeKey --pbkdf-force-iterations 500000 $part # Force fewer iterations (I reduced them 10×).
sudo cryptsetup luksChangeKey --pbkdf-force-iterations 500000 $part # Run again to land in slot 0.
- Rsibreak on KDE/Wayland is polluting the log every second.
Fix:
sudo sed -i \
's|^Exec=rsibreak --autostart *$|Exec=sh -c '\''QT_LOGGING_RULES="kf5idletime_wayland.debug=false;kf5idletime_wayland.warning=false" rsibreak --autostart'\''|' \
/etc/xdg/autostart/rsibreak_autostart.desktop
-
2–3s delay when opening Konsole, KCalc, etc.
Problem was resolved after installing proprietary drivers for my Nvidia 3050M: -
Zsh doesn’t accept inline
#comments.
Fix:
echo 'set -k' >> .zshrc -
I moved Zsh configuration files to
.zshto avoid clutter in $HOME.
Then I created.zshenvin $HOME with:
export ZDOTDIR="$HOME/.zsh"
And at the end of.zshrc:
export HISTFILE="$ZDOTDIR/.zhistory"
I wanted to keep.zshin $HOME/s/ (with my scripts) but it always failed — not sure why. I gave up. -
Kernel panic when resuming from [deep] sleep on AC power, and more battery drain with [s2idle] sleep.
Workaround:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/systemd/system-sleep/
sudo tee /lib/systemd/system-sleep/sleep_deep_batt <<"EOB"
#!/bin/sh
case "$1/$2" in
pre/*)
if [ -f /sys/class/power_supply/AC0/online ] && [ "$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/AC0/online)" -eq 1 ]; then
echo s2idle > /sys/power/mem_sleep
else
echo deep > /sys/power/mem_sleep
fi
;;
esac
EOB
sudo chmod ugo+x /lib/systemd/system-sleep/sleep_deep_batt
Just need to remember not to resume on AC power if it was suspended on battery.

sudoto a command, without installing all of Oh My Zsh:
cd .zsh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/refs/heads/master/plugins/sudo/sudo.plugin.zsh
echo "source sudo.plugin.zsh" >> .zshrc
Hope you find this useful
