BORE SCHEDULER LANDS ON 7.2-RC5, GAMING STACK REFRESHES, DASHBOARD TAPS LIVE MIRRORLIST DATA

By RepoJournal · Filed · About CachyOS · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

CachyOS kernel patches forward-ported the BORE scheduler to Linux 7.2-rc5 as the maintainers ship updates across gaming tools and system configuration.

The BORE scheduler port to 7.2-rc5 [1] required significant API updates to accommodate upstream kernel refactoring, particularly in how the `requeue_delayed_entity` function signature changed to include runqueue context and how `update_curr` was flattened. On the gaming front, gamescope jumped to 3.16.25 [2] while steamos-manager hit 26.4.1-1 [3] and steamdeck-dsp landed at 0.99-1 [4], though steam itself was dropped from the repos [5]. Documentation expanded significantly with CPU guidelines now more detailed in cachyos_settings.mdx [6], and the Hyprland config gained support for noctalia-greeter [7] plus a new zoom function with key bindings [8]. The public dashboard now consumes live mirrorlist data from the API [9], moving away from static baseline data to reflect current mirror status.
