Several times schema proposed in https://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/358937/index.html has been run with no issues on bare metal . Re-sync provided by function u() embedded in /.bashrc was tested successfully on bare metal multiple times

This post is an immediate follow up for Fedora 43 KVM Hypervisor && bring CachyOS KDE Plasma 6.5.1 along with kernel to Arch Linux VM ( https://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/358937/index.html ) It is quite clear that there is a way to automatically start services virtstoraged, virtnetworkd, virtqemud, virtnodedevd on Arch Linux VM , however I was not lucky enough to automate this procedure.

Following below is procedure which allows to install on Arch Linux CachyOS v3 repositories along with pacman fork belongs to CachyOS. Proceed as advised in post on Arch Linux KVM Guest deployed via F43/42 KVM Hypervisor . Upgraded Arch Instances have successfully passed via `sudo pacman -Syyu` multiple times during several recent days.

Following below is an attempt Arch Linux LVs reconfiguration in Post-installation phase. Original LVs layout configuration cannot be changed during archinstall active state. After archinstall finishes up we are going to switch to terminal session via "exit" option rather then reboot .

Setup below in general follows guide lines proposed in https://www.dwarmstrong.org/install-lmde-with-custom-lvm-luk... However, we intend to remove swap LV and increase sizes of root and home LVs . Then reboot system and activate zram instead of keeping unreasonably large LV swap on /dev/vda .

Tuning Virt-manager you are supposed enable 3D-acceleration and OpenGL to avoid crashing instance setup and successfully install Fedora 43 Cosmic Spin in VENV. The interesting thing is that F43 Cosmic Spin behaves the same way on bare metal and as KVM Guest. No issues for switching between different folders contain wallpapers for Cosmic DE happens in VENV.

We start with deployment of Cosmic Beta DE via CachyOS 082425 Calamares installer. Next step would be deployment Hyprland with ML4W Dotfiles RC 2.9.9.3 as second DE for Cosmic Beta. Notice that Launcher of Cosmic DE provide an option to start ML4W Sidebar App inside Cosmic DE instance . . .

Just select Cosmic during initial run of CashyOS 082825 Calamares installer and proceed with installation of Cosmic Beta DE utilizing native CachyOS repositories . Finally make sure that Cosmic Beta has been installed in the same way how we may install KDE Plasma 6.4.5 via original Cachyos ISO as of 08282025 . I have to notice that the only CachyOS provides a straightforward setup of Cosmic Beta DE vs an others clones of Arch Linux, say Garuda Mokka or Manjaro Linux for instance .

Once again install Hyprland with ML4W Dotfiles DEV 2.9.9.3 along with Cosmic Beta DE. Apparently pre-loading Hyprland virtual instance and performing actions causing trouble for Cosmic creates some shared objects in virtual machine RAM serving in particular the target of normal switching between folders contain desktop wallpapers and afterwards we may work for a while in Cosmice DE instance preserving ability manage Cosmic Desktop with no issues visible at first glance .

First we setup F43 Server KVM Guest and issue `sudo dnf5 update` then reboot instance and run $ sudo dnf install @cosmic-desktop-environment . Then disable cosmic-greeter.service and enable sddm :- $ sudo systemctl disable cosmic-greeter.service ; $ sudo systemctl enable sddm. Reboot and log into Cosmic Beta DE on top of Fedora 43 Server . . . .

An analysis of CachyOS, the performance-focused Arch derivative that delivers real optimizations through x86-64-v3/v4 packages, the BORE scheduler, and specialized kernels. With 5-20% performance gains and strong gaming support, it proves derivatives can offer genuine innovation beyond simple installers.

It appears that the only way to create new python code file (or any other file ) for particular project requires one or another way of manual intervention. In particular, it may be done via dolphin file manager either via `touch -f NewPytonFile.py` in correspondent directory

Following below is an attempt to setup Hyprland with ML4W Dotfiles 2.9.9.3 (Stephan Raabe) on Fedora 43 Beta . Several Copr repositories , which may be easily detected via command `dnf5 repolist` , will be automatically activated.First step would be add the repository using using remote-add and installing com.ml4w.dotfilesinstaller . . .

Start with Pre-installation step $ sudo apt install bpftool and include /usr/sbin in system $PATH variable. On Debian Trixie stable vs Testing install libdw-dev and build dependencies for libdw-dev steps are required to succeed with build CachyOS 6.16.5 Kernel on Debian 13 . Secure boot should be disable by obvious reasons. I also cannot issue any warranty that this build is free of bugs.

The final goal of setup below is to configure Pycharm 2025.2 in the way which would allow start PyCharm in Hyprland with ML4W Dotfiles 2.9.9 via Rofi as second DE on the instance openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Plasma 6.4.4. We start with downloading the most recent tar ball and extracting it at a time . . .

This post is an immediate follow up for "Attempt to workaround currently pending bug with Dotfiles Installer on openSUSE Tumbleweed" https://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/355903/index.html due to updates in openSUSE Tumbleweed packages dependencies which allow to avoid hacks during installation of Hypland with ML4W Dotfiles 2.9.9 on mentioned above popular Linux flavor . You may proceed as follows . . .

Solution proposed below is forcing installation /usr/bin/hyprpaper on Tumbleweed which breaks dependencies ( official option 2 ) and creating manually a soft link libhyprutils.so.6 -> libhyprutils.so.0.8.1 under folder /usr/lib64 . We intend to start with source-install of hyprpaper-0.7.1-2.6.src.rpm . . .

Following below is attempt to setup Hyprland with ML4W Dotfiles 2.9.8.7 (Stephan Raabe) on Fedora Rawhide . Several Copr repositories , which may be easily detected via command `dnf repolist` , will be automatically activated during this setup and keep the same speed of installation as on CachyOS or any other Arch Linux Clone working via direct access to AUR. You are not supposed to experience any painful network congestions during running this setup on any version of fedora linux ( 41,42,Rawhide ) .

Following below the step by step review of recent video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuqe5Hs00Go&t=686s posted by Stephan Raabe . Notice that current version of Dotfile Installer requires flatpak and yay to be preinstalled on any of Arch Linux Clones and CachyOS250713 in particular . So we have to start with yay installation to avoid silent failure of installation itself .

Follow https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/ and start script $ bash -c "(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/ma...) " . When prompted select rolling version of Hyprland ML4W Dotfiles 2.9.8.7 rather then stable 2.9.8.6 . In this case you are supposed to watch in final phase of installation following flatpacks to be installed on virtual drive of F42 KVM Guest . . . .
