Final Tweaks

  •  In System Settings app:
    • Uncheck Suspend Session in Power Management, Energy Savings (I've had back luck with corrupted suspends that cause boot failure)
    •  Turn on numlock in Input Devices, Keyboard
    •  Turn on night color in Display and Monitor, Night Color

  • In right-click Display Settings, set up random slide show with preferred wallpapers

  • sudo su and then EDITOR=micro visudo  to get rid of update password timeout
    Defaults passwd_timeout=0 
  • sudo micro  /boot/loader/loader.conf  to set longer time for boot menu
  • Set up Printer.  HP is easy using HPlip.  
Set up Printer:
  • For Brother Laser printer: download linux deb package from Brother
  • yay -S dpkg
    • sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture hll2480dwpdrv-4.1.0-1.i386.deb
    Then set up in KDE add printer; manually point to ppd file at /usr/share/ppd/brother/XXXXX.ppd

    socket://192.168.4.174
  • and https://support.cc.gatech.edu/support-tools/howto/direct-ip-printing-unix 
    • yay -S brother-hll2370dw
    • Set up in KDE System Settings, Printer
      • Select AppSocket/HP JetDirect, input ip address of printer, and manually add ppd file from /opt/brother/Printers/HLL2370DW/cupswrapper/brother-HLL2370DW-cups-en.ppd
crontab:
yay -S cronie
sudo systemctl enable cronie.service && sudo systemctl start cronie.service

paccache cleaner:
yay -S pacman-contrib
sudo systemctl enable paccache.timer && sudo systemctl start paccache.timer

In cachyos-hello:  check Ananicy Cpp enabled, Bpftune enabled and Sysemd-oomd enabled

# For zen kernel 
sudo pacman -S linux-zen linux-zen-headers

copy linux.conf entry in /boot/loader/entries to linux-zen.conf and edit accordingly

sudo mkinitcpio -P

# For firewall (laptop)
yay -S firewalld ipset ebtables
sudo systemctl enable --now firewalld
sudo firewall-cmd --add-service libvirt --zone=libvirt --permanent
for config: firewall-config
 
for Topgrade to not choke on oh-my-zsh update:
put export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh" in your .zshrc file
