<big>CachyOS 22.05</big>
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
<big>Features:</big>
|
||
|
||
<b>Filesystems:</b>
|
||
|
||
- btrfs
|
||
- zfs
|
||
- ext4
|
||
- xfs
|
||
- f2fs
|
||
|
||
After we found a solution to provide all our custom kernels with the zfs module integrated, we have implemented a one click install for zfs.
|
||
For the ZFS install, you need to select cachyos-zfs under Cachyos Kernels - ZFS during installation. For more information:

|
||
- CuteFish – An Elegant, Beautiful and Easy-to-Use Linux Desktop
|
||

|
||
- 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
|
||

|
||
- 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
|
||
|

|
||
<b>Linux Kernels:</b>
|
||
|
||
The CachyOS kernels use different Schedulers and patches to improve performance. Following Schedulers are supported:
|
||
|
||
- BORE (Burst-Oriented Response Enhancer) CPU Scheduler by firelzrd (BORE) - linux-cachyos
|
||
- Standard Scheduler Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) - linux-cachyos-cfs
|
||
- CacULE and CacULE-RDB created from Hamad Marri, maintained by CachyOS - linux-cachyos-cacule
|
||
- BitMap Queue (BMQ) Alfred Chen Scheduler - linux-cachyos-bmq
|
||
- Priority and Deadline based Skiplist multiple queue scheduler (PDS) - Alfred Chen Scheduler » linux-cachyos-pds
|
||
- Task Type Scheduler by Hamad Marri (TT) - linux-cachyos-tt
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
<b>Introducing CachyOS Package Manager:</b>
|
||
|
||
Simple Software Application Package Installer for CachyOS which helps setting up & installing applications.
|
||
We are really happy for this release and looking forward to the future!
