You had problems with AUR updating packages because the AUR was down yesterday. It’s been under a constant barrage of attacks for the past month. You can check the status here.
Any Arch-Based distro that uses the AUR will have problems whenever the AUR goes down. Do not use SteamOS on non-approved devices as SteamOS has lots of modifications for the specific hardware in the steam deck, and may result in an nonoptimal experience. Therefore, stick to CachyOS, or use Arch Linux by itself. Any Arch distro will work great on the framework. I recommend:
- Disabling WiFi power saving. For NetworkManager, you can create a file at
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/powersave.confand put in it
[connection]
wifi.powersave=2
This will disable wifi power saving and result in optimal connections
2. Set your wireless regulatory domain. Different nations have different rules and regulations on which bands of the electromagnetic spectrum can be used to transmit WiFi. Modern WiFi cards should know how to automatically select the country depending on which bands on present, but it is always a good idea to set this value for yourself, as I know I have helped one such person this way.
Make sure that wireless-regdb is installed. Open up the file /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom and uncomment the line with your country. For example
...
#WIRELESS_REGDOM="UA"
#WIRELESS_REGDOM="UG"
WIRELESS_REGDOM="US"
#WIRELESS_REGDOM="UY"
#WIRELESS_REGDOM="UZ"
