### Desktop Environment / Window Manager

### CPU

### Description
I installed cachyos plus hypland but unchecked the noctalia option. Now i proceeded to install End_4's illogical impulse and was experiencing lag. Quickshell's widgets were laggy, not knowing what the problem was I searched for hours to no avail. I deleted illogical impulse and installed caelestia just to see the shell fails to run. Turns out because of cachyos, any package that tries to install quickshell will get the noctalia-qt fork instead of the actual quickshell. This will cause weird behaviors, silent failures and bugs. I blieve cachyos must not replace the actual package with a fork or atleast it shouldn't do it if I didn't install Noctalia while installing cachyos. I don't want to remove the entire repo just for this package
### Steps to Reproduce
Just try installing quickshell-git with yay and you will get noctalia-qs
### Expected Behavior
I expect to get upsteam quickshell.
### Actual Behavior
You will get noctalia-qt

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by installing quickshell-git with yay and verify whether noctalia-qs or noctalia-qt is selected. Inspect the CachyOS package and repository metadata that causes this substitution, then confirm that an upstream quickshell package is selected unless Noctalia was explicitly installed.
