Hey everyone, just installed CachyOS on my ROG Zephyrus G14 GA403UM and the built-in speakers sound great at 100% but as the volume gets lower it gets increasingly muffled. It sounds like the bass doesn’t scale down with the volume so it drowns out the mids and highs.

I’ve tried EasyEffects with a few presets including the RaduTek G14 preset and manual EQ tweaks but nothing has fully fixed it.

Has anyone with the GA403UM specifically found a working EasyEffects preset or any other fix for this? Running KDE Plasma on CachyOS with PipeWire audio.

Hi everyone, I’m about to get into computer science so thoughts now would be the best time to switch to Linux for optimisation and coding is just overall nicer on Linux. Prior to this I’ve only used windows, but I don’t know what distro to pick. I tried a virtual machine for pop!_os, CachyOS and arch Linux, but I still can’t decide.

Pop!_os has stability due to being on Ubuntu, so I won’t have to deal with a random update pausing my workflow for ages, however it lacks customisation and optimisation features I want from arch. However arch lacks stability so I heard a good middle ground is CachyOS. So my overall question is does anyone have a recommendation for a distro? And does CachyOS and arch Linux often release updates that disrupt workflow? Thank you

Hi everyone, I’m a windows user who has finally decided to switch to Linux due to getting into computer science. I heard Linux is a good learning experience as well as a great place to code. However, I’m unsure what specific distro I should get? I saw hyprland desktop and I feel set on that as it looks very nice, however I’m unsure on the distro?

So, I got recommended CachyOS which does work great, however when I downloaded it on a virtual machine to test, it came pre downloaded with a load of stuff, I don’t know if that’s hyprland, CachyOS or what but if anyone knows that would be great?

If it was CachyOS or Hyprland, does anyone have suggestions for any arch Linux based distros that have less pre downloaded files? Thank you

If it was not CachyOS or Hyprland, does anyone know what specific versions and such to download so I don’t end up with all this extra unnecessary software? Thank you

Im a new student who’s about to go into computer science, I’m mostly interested in machine learning so will probably end up doing something related to that in my later years. I heard Linux is best for general coding and also computer science in general? So I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations? Thank you
