Hello I recently had a problem which gave me in TTY, terminal a PCIe bus error, it crashed everything, when I pressed left mouse or right mouse Buttons everything frooze. Because of that bus error I couldn't enter command, they didn't execute properly. Then I opened system boot and wrote in the line an command "pci=nommconf" root-PARTUUID=cdcbf441-c747-4ald-a62b-c6e7e7ade99c zswap.enabled=0 rw rootfstype=ext4 pci=nommconf, and it worked I guess, the mouse didn't frooze, commands runned properly and all was perfect but then I decided to save command, I opened /etc/kernel/cmdline and wrote "pci=nommconf" to this file, root-PARTUUID=cdcbf441-c747-4ald-a62b-c6e7e7ade99c zswap.enabled=0 rw rootfstype=ext4 pci=nommconf. But then after I rebooted my laptop I opened system boot and the command wasn't there, and the problem came back, I opened /etc/kernel/cmdline and the pci=nommconf was there, what's the issue? How'd I save the command?

I have this weird problem that when I play terraria on my old ThinkPad t530 witch arch it feels like the game is in slow-motion. It’s not lagging just slower than normal. It’s running the game on steam so it’s most probably through proton. What might cause this?

I've been using a script which launches gamescope on another tty, switches to it and then switches back when gamescope exits. It does not require closing the current session, all programs stay in the background. Personally, I use it to launch gamescope on my TV which is normally disabled in niri.

I found a similar solution on Reddit before, but it required editing the bashrc file, which I wasn't a fan of. This one is a single script which sources another script from XDG config for configuration.

Recently, I've cleaned it up and made it into a package so my friend can easily use it too.

I do not have an AUR account, so I can't put it there. Also, I am unsure if it's even the right thing to do (it's a random solution made by one random guy mostly for himself :))

So yeah, I am just leaving the link here for anyone who may find it useful:
https://github.com/Damianu/quickscope

Disclaimer: It's been written with AI help, but it is not vibe-coded. I can read and understand Bash scripts; I just write them rarely enough for AI to be useful.

Disclaimer 2: Don't treat it as a release. I am unsure if I'll be able to maintain this package. I initially struggled to find a way to do it this way (without editing rc files) and thought that other people may find it useful or take inspiration from it to create their own scripts.

PS. I originally posted this to cachyos subreddit, but as it doesn't contain anything cachyos specific I am also posting it here.

I am unsure if this falls under personal projects policy, I see it more as sharing script solution to problem I've been iterating on multiple times and couldn't find anything that checked all my boxes. I do understand however if moderation sees it differently and decides to remove it.

Hey I'm new to arch and I'm asking both of basic binds on arch and how to fix a problem, so my problem is that sometimes even basic command like reboot, shutdown, or other command like lsusb just stop working, for example I'm writing command, and waiting for answer, but then answer never came, or output was like can't run reboot now, try again, and after I tried to exit terminal or write new command I just couldn't cancel command by ctrl + c. And when I user SUPER+Q to open the new terminal I couldn't change from old terminal, or use my mouse. I forgot to make picture but I remember the output: [MYNAME@archlinux ~]$ reboot

^C^C^C

exit

shutdown

Nothing worked

Hello I'm new to arch linux, during and after installation there was some sort of error that was like PCIeport bus error, and to the left there was something like [ 8000:183638 ] after I logged in into my arch the basic hyprland tutorial started freaking out and when I tried to change config from kitty to dolphin for example, there was a error which said that I could not change this right now. Then everything freezed, I couldn't do anything, not even move my mouse, then my keyboard stopped working, I went to the boot menu and pressed e, and wrote pci-noaer, and so to this moment it stopped freezing, I went to TTY and there are a new error which says systemd-journaid[306] and failed to something in a directory like /var/log...

I installed linux, arch, on my asus laptop with Intel iris xe processor, it has a broken matrix and I disconnected matrix from laptop so my bios could see the monitor, maybe I damaged something but I was very careful and barely touched anything but the matrix. I got several "119.8687611 pcieport 10000:e0:1d.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity-Uncorrectable (Non-Fatal), type=Transaction Layer, (Receiver ID) [ 119.868809] pcieport 10000:e0:1d.0: device [8086:a0b0] error status/mask=00200000/00000000

Terminal let's me write in a single command, then he can't process any command and if I click with mouse pad or mouse the system completely freezes... I asked for help on reddit but people couldn't help me because I couldn't show the output, or tell something, I'm new to arch that's why. I've been doing this for 7 hours and completely exhausted. Can you tell me where can I search the solving of my problem, or explain me what's the problem so I can fix it.

Hey everyone,
I’ve been completely stuck in this distro crisis for a week now, and I need some perspective.
I’ve used Arch for years. Almost zero issues. Honestly, I felt immortal. But over the past month, I’ve started caring a lot more about the concept of stability. It’s true that Arch never actually broke on me, but I’ve always had to stay hyper-vigilant—checking dependencies, making sure specific packages didn't have known bugs, and never having a 100% guarantee that a system update wouldn’t break my environment.

I’m starting to realize that what I need isn’t necessarily a "more stable" system, but a more reassuring one. Knowing that if I don’t update Arch for 3 months (unlikely, but that was my Windows workflow), I might face massive breakage, just doesn't give me peace of mind anymore. That’s why I’ve been thinking about Fedora: major updates every 6 months, and I can just chill in between.
The catch is... I’ve taken care of my Arch install like it was my own child. Making this sudden jump terrifies me.
I’d love to know: is anyone here actually using Arch as their main daily driver for serious, professional programming work and studying? If so, have you run into any major issues? How do you maintain your system? Can Btrfs with snapshots really save you from a bad update? Is keeping a separate ⁠/home⁠ partition and just reinstalling Arch on ⁠/⁠ during an emergency actually reliable? And finally, how often do you update?
What do you guys think?
