new release is now available! Check out the changelogs in our blog: https://cachyos.org/blog/2511-november-release/ We are also sorry for the delay, since we have waited that NVIDIA releases the 590 driver, but it did not happen. This was important to properly split old hardware out. we just delay it now to a later release :)

After LLVM 19 got now available, we have integrated the Propeller Optimization into the 6.13 kernel. The kernel is preprofiled and optimized - the only thing you need to do is installing it:
sudo pacman -Syu linux-cachyos-rc linux-cachyos-rc-headers
Will be available in 1 hour.

The LLVM 19 rebuild is now in progress at archlinux. There is not much left, and it should arrive in the next week(s) finally into the stable repository.
LLVM 19 will unlock Propeller Optimization for the kernel 🎉

Thanks to @frumble@chaos.social for the invite!
