MSI-Claw is very fast with CachyOS.

Argh
Chimera os runs but all buttons abxy are not recognized or in a strange mode. If i install your file nothing change.

Cachy os installation returns many errors at the beginning..... Why (strange errors, like pacman error)? I have flashed iso with fedora program, now i am using balena etcher. I hope works.
I have disabled fastboot and secure boot, but chimera os finish installation, cachy os no....

Its better to install without HDMI dock as some docks confused Gamescope compositor.
But if you have to install with dock, just try not using it after reboot or maybe plug HDMI screen in.

I would use Handheld-Edition of CachyOS. When you run the install script make sure you're using sudo.
"sudo ./install.sh"

And make sure you have the latest version

Ya share video or images. Whats the output when you run "sudo ./install.sh" ??

 

[vittorio.pierantozz159302e0]

Yes thanks
It download many programs, all ok and ask to restart os. But if i press any button, nothing works. With left stick i can move an icon mouse, like msi claw doesnt recognize handled mode

To save the log file run "sudo ./install.sh > log.txt"
Then just send me the log.txt file or text. You can also do this on GitHub.

hello, I just registered here to tell you that it works great. So far I've tested it with Path of Exile 2, it works great. Thank you very much for that

Awesome. Also making a distro that may work better long run for it as well.

Ok i installed cachy os, i think the problem was a docking with hdmi .
I installed install.sh in desktop mode, i restarted the os, but now when i lunch a game on steam handled mode, i see only a mouse arrow that i can control with stick. How can i enable buttons and gamepad mode?

Greetings
You have to install Handheld Daemon https://github.com/hhd-dev/hhd
If you have any doubts ask Microsoft Copilot, it helped me.
The controllers work great and my Xbox Gamepad also works great when I have the Claw docked

If any of the Center M developers read this, please force MSI to develop Center M to Linux.
The Claw sales would improve as Cachy OS improves game performance overall

Hello, I've just installed cachy OS, but when I launch this script all action buttons just disabled same as joysticks. Only menu buttons works. Secure boot disabled, my USB hub without HDMI..

Use ReignOS. Its the most stable with Claw AM1 and Claw 8 etc. http://reign-os.com/

I specifically started ReignOS to better solve Claw issues (while its starting to support much more). It supports multiple compositors which allow Claw 8 to run flawlessly.
