Seems my system is getting repeated errors stating cannot download the file or files. And then gives you to option to try again in a loop. Am I going to have to download the latest version and reload it? Hoping not.
Hi guys,
I got this blue screen after I updated the system.
Can you help me what to do?
Hiya! I'm currently dailydriving siduction with Liquorix kernel but I'm considering to hop over to PikaOS cause the siduction community talk is mainly done I German and my German isn't good enough to follow what they are talking about.
The thing that I'm a bit hesitant over is if I can do my main updates an so with aptitude cause that is what I'm most comfortable with.
I've been a Linux user since 1993. But the past couple of years, it's been Arch, specifically CachyOS. I still love it, but I decided to try PikaOS and wow. I was actually surprised. My PC is not the highest spec machine:
Ryzen 5 3600
GTX-1660 OC
32GB DDR4 3200
CachyOS with the latest 6xx drivers was fine for most older games, but Stellar Blade, for instance, had a lot of micro-stutters. I understand it's a DX12 game, so those have issues with the nVidia drivers, especially with my under-powered GPU, but even in Windows I can get a pretty good constant 60fps at 1080p with medium settings.
Yesterday, I tried PikaOS with the 595 drivers and I couldn't believe how much smoother the game was for me! I'm not sure what in PikaOS is making the game run where it's completely playable now for me, but I'l very happy with it.
I liked living on the bleeding edge, but maybe now it's nice to have a Linux distro that has more stability with its updates. I never had an issue with Arch, and I still love it, but at this point, I'm pretty sold on PikaOS.
But, that's what I love about Linux. We have so many choices and can find one that works, and it seems like PikaOS is the one that works for me.
Like if I press caps lock it doesn't even respond, also I can't use the virtual keyboard because it just does nothing when pressed, so essentially my laptop is a brick.
The Upgrade updated everything in the PikaOS repos, but it specifically includes:
GNOME 50
KDE 6.7
Custom Patched APT and DPKG for much higher speeds.
currently the pikman-update-manager gui will crash due to absolute size of the upgrade, so you will need to run this command to update it to version with a safe distribution upgrade mode
```
sudo apt install pikman-update-manager apt dpkg
```
after that make sure to close pikman-update-manager from the tray icon
and open it again, then you will be greated by the screen on this post, it will upgrade you to the latest everything.
if you experience any trouble, check out the update-issues channel on our official discord.
Hello, I can't boot into the installed PikaOS. Instead, Windows starts up. I have an MSI motherboard. Secure Boot is disabled. The "BIOS CSM/UEFI mode" is set to UEFI. I selected MSI checkbox in the installer.
For the first day everything was great worked as it was supposed to
Second day same thing
Third day I boot into pika and steam and discord are unable to load. Im on ethernet i should have little to no issue at all. after a while it automatically starts working ok great Next problem is internet speed is exceptionally slower than what it should be and starts disconnecting. Restarted pc 3 times trying to fix same issue
No shade or hate to the team but i was really disappointed idk what happened first two days were great and now this happens
This is my hardware only difference is I have a 1000watt psu
These problems do not present if i go to fedora or windows idk what happened but just left a bad impression
Was testing out PikaOS COSMIC edition. Noticed a couple things:
How do I uninstall Chromium? It's not listed in the installed apps in the COSMIC store for me to uninstall it. Although if I search for it, I can find it available to install (despite the fact that it is already installed). I did try the CLI but couldn't get the right command to work.
Why has PikaOS used Chromium instead of Firefox?
Thanks.
Looking for a new long term distro
How is Pikaos support like how big or small is the support team?
I heard its a hobbyist distro
I wanna try out hyperland how stable is it (im not a beginner ive used nobara kde since 2023)
Hi, I'm trying to launch a .jar through the "open with" menu, but i can't seem to find the JRE when I go to "show installed applications". I've tried installing OpenJDK and Open JDK 25 SDK Extension on the Discover package manager, but neither is showing. I've also tried sudo apt install default-jre and it isn't showing up either. All three of the different installs seem to work successfully, so that isn't the issue.
Opening the .jar with command line works fine, but i'd like to be able to just double click .jar files and launch them from Dolphin without command line. Am I doing something wrong here? Thank you.
Whenever I would take a shower I would turn up the water heat to the point that it would be almost unbearably hot then immediately point the shower head at my balls and repeat "cook them eggs" out loud over and over and over until I physically could not stand the heat anymore. This has been going on for years and years. Last month I finally told my therapist about my habit and she hospitalized me. I am now on antipsychotics.
KDE 6.6 or anything newer?
Why so far behind, this is my ONLY complaint with pika lol
I've been looking at Pikaos to mainly replace my Bazzite TV PC one day, but so far I can't really find a place to get more details on the handheld release (which I pressume will mean it has Valves gaming mode).
Any infomation on when it will release and if there's already a beta I could test? And maybe where I can find more info on Pikaos as a whole because the websites FAQ leaves much to be desired.
Hi, I wanted to ask a question, since I'm new to this distro. How good is PikaOS with Niri and Noctalia? Any recommendations for this desktop environment? Right now I have to modify the Niri shortcuts, but I feel that Noctalia falls a bit short in terms of interface configurations (from a novice's point of view).
