The popular Arch-based distro CachyOS gets a new release with a significantly reworked installer
27 Jan 2026 at 9:48 pm UTC

Quoting: scaineI suppose the performance thing is cool, but the bit of CachyOS I love is that it integrates snapper into grub seamlessly, so if you break your system (say, an aberrant Arch update), you just reboot into an earlier snapshot and you've learned your lesson. Takes all the pressure off the fact it's Arch. Or being an idiot like me and constantly experimenting with stuff and breaking things.

I'd like them to include ChaoticAUR by default, like Garuda does, but it's straightforward enough to add manually. If you haven't used ChaoticAUR before, it's a precompiled version of the AUR - very fast, because it acts like any other Arch source. No waiting around for AUR compiles.

My next challenge with CachyOS is integrating the boot with TPM, so I don't have to manually unlock my disks at startup. If that's successful, I don't think I'll be distro-hopping for a long, long time.
Oh, really have to find out how to set up snapper now in my CachyOS.
Would have loved to have it when Arch rolled out a new systemd revision which completely broke my internet xD

Nice. Now can someone please implement it in the window manager I use: sway? 😅

I really would love there was some way the different window managers shared more code.
Everything has to be implement n times (n goes to infinite). Even things like HDR still
are a mess and I have to compile my own git version of sway to make it work.

Really should have a look at this game after having heard so much positive about this game. But maybe this was about the Battlefront 2 from 2005 xD

AMD confirm the Ryzen 7 9850X3D launch date and pricing

No plan to replace my Ryzen 9 7900X3D any time soon ^^ Isn't it confusing the Ryzen 7 has a higher number after it than the Ryzen 9?
I am still not used to how AMD makes up those numbers. Have been Intel user before since.. well, I once owned an AMD Athlon xD
