90 DAy Challenge Mistakes Made Week 1

 Alright this was expected. It turns out that I have made a few mistakes with the Kernel side of things. I'm looking into it at the time of writting, but grub is not updating which I thought it was. At first I was under the assumption that it was switched, but CachyOS Kernal Manager did not enable the Kernel.  


Right now what I am doing is re-building the kernel so I'll add to this post as we go. 



Alright this is where we go with feel on something. I feel like there might be something wrong with my install. I think a reinstall might be in order. This is great we are on the second day and things aren't going smoothly. Be back in a snap.


Alright I am back and that install felt smooth. Ya know when you have done something so many times that you can feel like something is different. Now let's get back to our baseline of the install I had before.  That is one aspect of this challenge that is important. Crap I never set the ground rules.


90 Day Linux Challenge ground rules:

1: I can only do a complete reinstall 1 time per month (Already used that so let's be careful)

2: I must personallize the environment be it Gnome, KDE Plasma, XFCE, etc to my own liking. I cannot stay stock. Ricing is a must even if I have to make the end result myself.

3: Get CachyOS or other opetmized Kernel running stable.

4: Install and use Davinci Resolve Free

5: Replace the stock Terminal 

6: Make a video showing how progress is going at least once a week

7: problem solve my way out of issues even if I break the system. 

8: Setup backup and restore

9: Get scheduling working

10: Make moydee.com a site that has articles for my videos. (this one is done yay small wins!)

11: Customize OBS with plugins that make streaming a content creation easier.


Alright those rules or goals are easy I guess, but it's a baseline. Now that we have used out first months reset. Let's tread lightly we have 28 days to go and no fallback if we break things hard core.


I updated the commands in the first post because I made a typo, and I have the Kernel building.

Why CachyOS Kernel?

 This was a question that was asked in the comment of this video  HERE I thought that was a fantastic question. Let's break down the main concept of what a Kernel Does. 1: Process Management -  The Kernel is a critical component to making your Operating system work. Be it windows, MacOS, Debian, Arch, or Fedora. A Kernel communicates directly with the hardware on your device. The Kernel communicates with the CPU and delegates what information that needs to be processed and in what order and for how long. Think of the kernel as kinda the mind to the brain. You see your Google Pixel Watch sitting on your desk. Your mind says I want to grab that and this is how I will grab it. Your brain then tells each muscle that the mind instructs it to move to accomplish the task. I get it that's a very layman's example, but if it works then it works. We don't need to overstress fine points that mean nothing in the simple explanations. 2: Memory Management - Just like with the communic...

90 Days Arch Linux Week 1

Image
 Alright so I was suprised I guess by the outcome of the poll done on YouTube. The joke I said was not not exactly wrong. The Arch Community is VERY vocal so I kind expected that there would by an almost landslide style outcome from having Arch in the list. That being said the outcome is not something I am uncomfortalbe with. Let's start with the imporant stuff here: I went to the arch Linux website:  Arch Linux   After downloading through the torrent link. (I prefer to do it that way. Please Seed your favorite projects.) I then opened up my terminal and typed  lsblk  and found my drive in the list of drives. After that it was as simple as typing  sudo dd bs=14M if=(drag and drop the iso you downloaded here of=/dev/(your drive designation) status=progress oflag=sync For me that looked like this but for you it will be different. sudo dd bs=14M if=/home/moydee/Downloads/archlinux-2025.07.01-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdf stat us=progress oflag=sync After that...

90 Days In Arch Week 1 Let's talk about kernels

Image
 Alright so I talked  about getting the Cachy OS Kernel running on Arch Linux Open your favorite terminal and type out some commands.  Donwload the CachyOS Repos curl https://mirror.cachyos.org/cachyos-repo.tar.xz -o cachyos-repo.tar.xz ; tar xvf cachyos-repo.tar.xz Change Dirrectory to where you downloaded the mirror data cd  cachyos-repo Run the file for the repo sudo ./cachyos-repo.sh   Update your system sudo pacman -Syu Now that we have that let's donwload CachyOS Kernel Manager. This is the program that handles selecting Kernels and installing them on a CachyOS system. We want this for our Arch system. This program is not part of the base AUR (Arch User Repository). So we needed to add the repo's for CachyOS like we did above. Install CachyOS Kernel Manager sudo pacman -S cachyos-kernel-manager Now you may run into an out of date issue with your download. If that is the case run this command it will sync everything up all nice and pretty. sudo pacman -Syyu...
