The release of CachyOS 250824 has been published, based on the Arch Linux package base and utilizing a continuous delivery model for updates. The distribution is notable for its performance optimizations and the ability to install various desktop environments. In addition to the base KDE environment, options available for installation include GNOME, Xfce, i3WM, Wayfire, LXQT, OpenBox, Cinnamon, Cosmic, Niri, UKUI, LXDE, Mate, Budgie, Qtile, Hyprland, and Sway. The size of the installation iso image is 3 GB. Build versions (2.8 GB) for handheld devices (Handheld Edition) with a GameMode style interface and components for gaming enthusiasts are provided separately. <\/p>\n
The distribution includes the BORE task scheduler by default, optimized to reduce latency on the desktop and prioritize interactive processes. The kernel and packages are built with LTO (Link-Time Optimization) enabled, utilizing instructions available in processors based on the x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4, and Zen4 microarchitectures. The base packages also include PGO (Profile-Guided Optimization) or BOLT (Binary Optimization and Layout Tool) optimizations. Filesystem options include btrfs, zfs, ext4, xfs, and f2fs. <\/p>\n
Key Changes: <\/p>\n
\n
A service packages.cachyos.org has been added, listing the versions of available packages used in CachyOS.\n
By default, a more stable package with the LTS kernel linux-cachyos-lts is used in the installation media. This package is also utilized in case of issues with the freshly installed kernel version offered.\n
An option has been added to the installer to install a custom environment based on the composite manager Niri.\n
When using the GRUB bootloader with Btrfs file system, automatic activation of boot snapshots has been ensured, allowing for rollback to a previous state in case of problems after updates.\n
On systems with NVIDIA chips, support for low-power S0ix mode has been enabled, where the system is in a sleep state but can receive notifications and process events.\n
The Cachy-Update package (a fork of arch-update) has been added to the repository, providing a system tray indicator that displays information about available updates in the official repositories and AUR.\n
The capabilities of the Proton-CachyOS package have been expanded, now supporting the loading of DLL libraries DLSS and XeSS, added environment variables PROTON_DLSS_INDICATOR, PROTON_FSR3_UPGRADE, PROTON_XESS_UPGRADE, and PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE, additional NVIDIA libraries have been implemented, a game-specific shader cache has been provided, and an option to use dxvk-sarek instead of DXVK for older GPUs is available. <\/ul>\n
