    1. Improvement / UX: Please add "Install Printer Packages" to Cachy Hello / as Terminal quick-link / as daemon watching user interaction with settingsOpen

      Hey, While installing CachyOS over the LiveOS, it was possible to enable Printer Support. I didn't catch that because it's so far hidden below the software package checklist. I've found the solution to install the printer software right here: and here for universal printer…

    2. [Feature Request] Add Tooltips / Hover Descriptions to Menu ItemsOpen

      Many options in CachyOS Hello are unclear for first-time users. Adding simple hover tooltips (or a small description panel) would greatly improve usability. Currently, users must search online to understand items like: Ananicy Cpp BpfTune Systemd-oomd Reinstall all packages…

    3. Possible enhancement with regards to an update scriptOpen

      With regards to mirrors out of sync and not responding, it might make sense to create a script and call it in the install updates section which does actions similar to the garuda-update routine (ie call update mirrors before each invocation). That would also entail advising new…

    5. Allow to use more terminal emulatorsClosed

      It is funny that sometimes you can't use gnome-console, for instance, although it's upstream while gnome-terminal isn't. Even better would be to let us choose the terminal we want

    9. Feature Request: Add an option to uninstall/remove gaming packagesOpen

      The welcome app features a one-click button to "Install Gaming packages", but there is no corresponding option to remove or uninstall them. If a user installs them and later decides they don't need the bundle, trying to clean it up via the "Remove orphans" button or pacman can…

    14. CachyOS Hello is only one application that incorrectly interpret settings from KDE and shows shadows around windowOpen

      1. Please answer, why don't you use Qt in there? 2. Please resolve the problem. 3. I don't think the issue is in the GTK, because all other applications used settings correctly and do not show shadows.
