CachyOS 241110

CachyOS is a Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. It focuses on speed and security optimisations. The project's latest snapshot is CachyOS 241110 which introduces several kernel and firmware updates which should improve gaming performance. "We have backported from the 6.13 Kernel the THP Shrinker, which allows splitting hugepages earlier, reducing memory usage when transparent_hugepages is set to 'always', while maintaining the same performance. Also, we have added the AMD Cache Optimizer, which can be modified at runtime to the preferred mode - cache or frequency. This changes the AMD preferred core ranking. This should help in games using the wrong CCD, for example. You can find instructions in the wiki on how to use this. Additionally, we have backported the AMD-pstate performance fixes for Strix Point laptops. This should generally improve the performance of these laptops."

CachyOS 241003

This is our 11th release this year, which is intended as a fixing release.

There has been an increased amount of reports, that people with RDNA3 and AMD iGPU's were not able to get a graphical session on the ISO, this has been fixed with adding xf86-video-amdgpu. Besides that there are some fixes for the sddm wayland session for KDE, which should be now fully resolved. There are some more fixes with the upcoming Plasma 6.2 release, which should make the experience better.

Package Updates: linux-cachyos 6.11.1, mesa 24.2.4, scx-scheds 1.0.5, python 3.12.7

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.

CachyOS August 2024 Release

This is our 9th release this year, featuring improvements in hardware detection and infrastructure enhancements.

Starting with this release, the hardware detection will automatically use the open NVIDIA modules. Users can revert to closed-source modules by running sudo pacman -S linux-cachyos-nvidia.

We’ve also included the latest NVIDIA Beta driver (560) after extensive testing. This driver appears to be in a stable state following its second beta release.

The Cosmic Desktop Environment is now available for installation. We’ll follow the upstream release (Alpha 1) for packaging. Packages based on the latest commit are available, though these won’t be used for installation. Existing users can install Cosmic on their current setup with the command: sudo pacman -S cosmic-session. This installs the base packages for running Cosmic. Additional packages like cosmic-text-editor, cosmic-terminal, and cosmic-store are also available.
