CachyOS was founded a year ago. After almost one year of development, we are really proud to announce our first Stable Release of GUI Installer.
We spent a lot of time investigating repo management, kernel development, infrastructure, theming, ... and finally put them all into the CachyOS GUI Installer.
All the features we worked on and implemented into the Installer are just trying to offer users a completely customizable experience.
- i3 tiling WM, primarily targeted at developers and advanced users
- GNOME - designed to put you in control and get things done
- Openbox - a highly configurable, floating window manager with extensive standards support
- Wayfire - a wayland compositor based on wlroots. It aims to create a customizable, extendable and lightweight environment without sacrificing its appearance
- bspwm - a tiling window manager that represents windows as the leaves of a full binary tree. bspwm supports multiple monitors and is configured and controlled through messages
- Kofuku (bliss in Japanese) - a lightweight and minimalist Linux setup. This setup uses BSPWM as the tiling window manager.
- Xfce - a lightweight desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and low on system resources, while still being visually appealing and user friendly
All kernels are built into two versions (x86_64 and x86_64_v3) and llvm/lto enabled kernels are included in the cachyos repo.
<b>Introducing CachyOS Kernel Manager:</b>
We have worked on a application which gives a better overview which kernel are installed or can be installed on your system.
For the future we thought about to implement also a possibility to compile the CachyOS kernels with several options simply over the kernel manager which will help easier to configure the kernel compile to suite their own needs.
