Castalia GOS Known issues
Honesty is the brand. This page lists what does not work before you hit it. File new ones via GitHub Issues.
| Area | Issue | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-cheat | Games using kernel-level anti-cheat (Valorant, most CoD titles, Fortnite, Destiny 2…) do not run and will not until vendors support Linux. | Permanent limitation — check ProtonDB / AreWeAntiCheatYet before buying |
| Project stage | Pre-alpha: no installable release is published. Images build from source and boot, but nothing is certified on real hardware yet. | Roadmap P11 (public alpha) |
| SDDM greeter | The Castalia login theme ships staged but disabled — the stock greeter shows until it passes on-hardware QA. You can turn it on yourself with `ujust castalia-greeter on`, and back off from a TTY with `sudo castalia-switch-mode greeter off`. | Opt-in today; default gated on QA (docs/04) |
| NVIDIA edition | Builds and smoke-tests in CI, but has never been validated on physical NVIDIA hardware. | Needs hardware testers |
| Signing | Images are not yet cosign-signed (key generation is an owner action); CI warns instead of failing. | Before first public artifact |
| Handhelds | Profiles exist for 9 devices but none is hardware-certified; DMI strings for AYANEO/OneXPlayer batches may be incomplete. | Hardware reports welcome |
| HTPC overscan | No overscan compensation is shipped. A number can only be calibrated against a real television, so the TV's own picture-size setting (Just Scan / 1:1 / Dot by Dot) is the fix today. | Deliberate — needs interactive calibration (docs/08 §4) |
| HTPC on real TVs | HDMI-audio-across-resume and CEC are covered by automated tests but have never run against an actual television or AV receiver. | Needs hardware testers |
