CachyOS shipped kernel 7.2-rc4 with a new gaming-optimized scheduler branch and AMD display fixes, while ananicy-rules yanked normal scheduling from most process types in a major behavioral shift.

The Linux 7.2-rc4 kernel dropped overnight [1] rebased from upstream with three critical branches: gaming-sched (fresh), fixes (updated with AMD vblank/flip handling), and quirks for audio. This pairs with ananicy-rules 1.1.46 [2], which removes sched: normal from the majority of process types [3] after merging gaming improvements [4] that specifically avoid idle scheduling for Steam. The shift means process tuning now defaults to CachyOS-optimized schedules rather than kernel defaults, a material change for desktop and gaming workloads. In parallel, the wiki simplified post-install documentation by removing manual WiFi regdom configuration [5] since it's now automated. ntfsprogs-plus got dropped as unused from PKGBUILDS [6], and Chrome hardware acceleration docs landed for RTX 5070 users [7]. Minor bump: repo-manage-util updated userver dependencies [8].
