This is the thing that the Gnome devs are desperately trying to replicate.


I’ve actually had a lot of cats. Literally never needed to trim their nails. I guess we’ve got different ideas on how to look after cats. Each to their own.


No. Get a scratching post or two, you shouldn’t need to trim them.


Thats a software vendors wet dream - owning the store where people buy your software all the way down to owning the fabs that produce hardware required to play those games.


I wonder how far they’re willing to push the “its just a PC” rhetoric - they might consider releasing a chassis only enthusiast version without RAM and SSD etc. Similar to how Framework has their DIY edition and configurator.




Its decent, but they have a take it or leave it approach (very opinionated) - which is good for people that don’t particularly have specific needs or don’t care too much and just want to get into Linux.

Its was less of a problem with the resolution, and more about the ratio. In the past changing the stream resolution to match would mess up the desktop.


This worked great, thanks for this. Very cool project.


Looks like a non-starter

Currently Virtual Display support is Windows only, Linux support is planned and will be implemented in the future.




Looks confusing to setup. So there is a Wolf container which streams to a Moonlight client, but there also needs an Apps container with Steam preinstalled which is launched through the Wolf container?


I’d probably have to still have a virtual display at the very least because the resolution of my main PC is ultrawide 3440x1440 and the laptop is only 1920x1080



You can eat a horse, and you water man. Man a eat, and you can day in a horse.


Good question. It could go either way - SDDM and PLM are different enough that any customisations you did on SDDM are at risk of breaking when going to PLM. So they either do it automatically and upset those with customisations that don’t work, or you keep it manual and upset those that don’t want to do it manually.

Given that CachyOS is more aimed at those more comfortable with the terminal (Arch-based) I tend to think it’ll remain manual.

For anyone else who was curious like me, there are manual steps required for existing installs to use the plasma login manager:

<strong>Manual changes for existing users:</strong>

KDE Plasma users with SDDM can now migrate to Plasma-Login-Manager. Please run:

sudo pacman -Syu plasma-login-manager
sudo systemctl disable sddm
sudo systemctl enable plasmalogin
sudo pacman -R sddm-kcm cachyos-themes-sddm sddm

After that you can use in Plasma Settings under the KCM “Apply Settings”.
