Hi all, I installed aerynOS and so far so good.

I also run Solus, so I was pleasantly surprised to find the scx schedulers baked in. I’ve been having a lot of fun playing around with them. moss is quick too. Installing and updating feels as fast as CachyOS and NixOS.

Here’s what I did to get set up, in case it helps anyone else just starting out.

1. Update first: `sudo moss sync -u`
2. NVIDIA drivers: Check which kernel you’re running: `uname -r`

Mine ended in .stable, so I installed the matching stable modules:

`sudo moss install nvidia-open-gpu-kernel-modules-stable nvidia-graphics-driver nvidia-graphics-driver-32bit`  
`sudo reboot`

If yours ends in .lts or .gaming, use the -lts or -gaming modules instead. Afterwards, nvidia-smi should show your card. Only cards supported by the NVIDIA open kernel modules work (Turing and newer). Mine is a GTX 1650.

1. scx schedulers

These are already running out of the box. Check which one you’re on:

`scxctl get`

Mine came up as lavd in Auto mode. To try another one:

`scxctl switch --sched flash --mode gaming`

To go back to the default:

`scxctl restore`

1. Printing

`sudo moss install cups cups-client cups-filters cups-browsed print-manager foomatic-db foomatic-db-engine foomatic-db-nonfree`  
`sudo systemctl daemon-reload`  
`sudo systemctl enable --now cups cups-browsed`  
`systemctl status cups --no-pager`

5.Flatpak

It was already installed. I just added Flathub:

`flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub ``https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo`

1. Your own shell tweaks

Put them in `~/.bashrc.d/` as `.sh` files and they load automatically. You don’t need a `.bashrc`.

So far it’s a really interesting project. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.
