CachyOS Workstation Setup Current workstation config - CachyOS on ASUS laptop, dual NVMe, autostart apps, old home btrfs subvolume location reference

Workstation: acg-guru-5070

  • OS: CachyOS (Arch-based), kernel 6.19.x
  • DE: KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland)
  • CPU/GPU: Intel Arrow Lake-S + NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti Mobile
  • Tailscale IP: 100.95.216.79

Storage

  • nvme0n1: 954GB btrfs - CachyOS install (OS, root)
  • nvme1n1: 954GB ext4 - /home (formatted from old Windows drive)
  • Old home: btrfs @home subvolume on nvme0n1, mount with: sudo mount -o subvol=@home UUID=8a8b1d34-99fb-470f-82ca-b5d08e43ec32 /mnt/old-home

Autostart Apps (~/.config/autostart/)

  • arch-update-tray.desktop (pre-existing)
  • cachyos-hello.desktop (pre-existing)
  • discord.desktop (added, starts minimized)
  • tailscale-systray.desktop (added)
  • ScreenConnect: autostart removed (on-demand only via URI scheme handler from web UI)

Known Issues

  • Warm reboot hangs: Rebooting (e.g. for GPU issues) causes system to hang with spinning symbol — requires hard power-off. Observed multiple times. Likely NVIDIA driver not unloading cleanly during shutdown.

Key Fixes Applied

  • Tailscale: --accept-routes, systemd-resolved + NetworkManager DNS config
  • Brightness: Hide nvidia_0 backlight via udev rule, KDE controls intel_backlight only
  • ScreenConnect: dpkg + full JRE + Wayland patch (GDK_BACKEND=x11)
  • Sudo: NOPASSWD for guru user

How to apply: Reference when troubleshooting workstation issues or setting up additional services.
