CachyOS September 2024 Release

This is our 10th release this year, featuring improvements to performance, faster updates, and other enhancements. The release comes a bit delayed, since the CachyOS Team was at the LPC, and therefore we couldn’t follow our common release cycle.

We have started to optimize more packages with PGO. In the case of LLVM and Clang, we have seen a 10% performance improvement. Additionally, packages like svt-av1, nodejs, and ripgrep got optimized with PGO. We will work further to optimize our packages and improve their performance. Also, we have added cherry-picked patches to glibc and gcc from clearlinux. This provided an additional 1.5% improvement to the gcc compiler.

KaOS 2024.09

KaOS is a rolling release distribution which focuses on providing one desktop (KDE Plasma) and applications developed with one toolkit (Qt). The project's latest snapshot brings the Calligra office suite into the spotlight as well as an updated VirtualBox package. "More applications are now ready to use Qt6 and Frameworks 6, the big one now being Calligra. Since Calligra is again actively maintained and developed, it has returned to being the default office suite for KaOS. Another one that is now Qt6-based is Virtualbox. The UI of the installer has been updated for quite a few pages. This includes an option to choose either Calligra or LibreOffice as the preferred office suite. You will also see that the bootloader selection page and sound backend page are more integrated with Plasma 6 (through Kirigami). There also is now an option in the installer to install with the all-new filesystem bcachefs, it is still in experimental stage, but is included in the kernel build, and the needed bcachefs-tools are available in the repositories."
