I have been using CachyOS for more than 6 months at this point and I'm pretty happy with it. Among the many distros I tried, this is probably my favourite arch based distro. I initially installed it because it offered Hyprland desktop, and I didn't want to bring over my messy config nor did I want to start from scratch. But sometimes when I want to game or when I wake up my computer from sleep the display would just keep blacking out and won't let me use it until I restart the computer (I am using an AMD GPU btw). This issue has been happening on Plamsa 6, and Gnome as well. I have tried various fixes from the ArchWiki but it's still there. Other than that I really liked the Distro.

It's not like changing distros can solve my moitor blacking out problem, but I'm going to try something based on Silverblue for a change. Yes, I have tried the Ublue project in the past, it was good but I couldn't get into the whole immutable thing back then, so I hopped back to my staple Arch/Tumbleweed and carried on. Fast forward to today.. I'm thinking about trying Bazzite or Aurora as the idea of having a low maintenance system is now very appealing to me.

I'm not necessarily a hardcore gamer but I do play games every other day and also run some LLMs locally every now and then. I'm not sure which one I should go for between Bazzite and Aurora. Maybe someone who has run both can give their opinion.

Is it related to the issue described in the post attached to this comment? The linked comment also links to an issue page with details about the issue the poster experienced. If so, then that issue should actually be fixed in kernel 6.9 (which still has not been added to the Fedora 40 repos), and not caused by it.

An extension of this issue is present in 6.8.9+ before 6.9, which is why I ask if this seems to be related (since the versions are pretty close in time and Fedora doesn't even have 6.9 yet).

That's the one. Waiting for the patch to make it's way downstream.

This is a bit late, but I just wanted to follow up to let you know that Fedora 40 updated to kernel 6.9 last week.

[-] Thrickles@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Yup! Forgot to circle back to this post, but confirmed updated to 6.9.4 and games are no longer crashing.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
