CACHYOS LINUX 7.1.4 SHIPS WITH SCHEDULER REVERT AND AMD AUDIO FIXES
By RepoJournal · Filed · About CachyOS
The kernel bumped to 7.1.4 overnight with a critical scheduler revert and targeted audio driver fixes for AMD systems.
CachyOS Linux 7.1.4-1 is live [1], rebased on upstream 7.1.4 with meaningful changes across the stack. The headline fix: a revert of the LIFO accept() scheduler optimization that was causing cache contention on production workloads [1]. AMD users get two targeted fixes in this cycle: a PCI MSI disable on ACP driver resume and a new quirk for Acer Aspire A314-23P audio [1]. V4L2loopback bumped to 0.15.4 for improved video capture stability [1]. On the package desk, ripgrep jumped to 15.2.0 [2] and dms-shell to 1.5.2 [3], both signed off by Peter Jung. The AUR-derived repo is running its usual steady cadence: Brave hit 1.92.141 [4], Claude Code to 2.1.214 [5], Sunshine to 2026.715.205118 [6], and Helium browser climbing to 0.14.7.1 [7] with no checksum mismatches. Wiki gaming documentation continues refinement with fixup commits rolling in [8].
