CachyOS Linux 7.2-rc7-1 rebased upstream with critical fixes for MT76 wifi devices and USB initialization, while the settings package ditches legacy NVIDIA parameters.

The kernel team shipped 7.2-rc7-1 [1] rebased to upstream 7.2-rc7 with reverts to two problematic patches affecting wifi stability on MT76 devices and USB config reads, plus an ALSA codec fix for Legion AW88399 headset mics. In parallel, CachyOS-Settings 1.4.0 [2] dropped the deprecated NVreg_UsePageAttributeTable flag from nvidia.conf, cleaning up aging driver configs ahead of NVIDIA's eventual removal. The stable 7.1.7-1 release [3] also landed with display idle optimization fixes and continued vmalloc performance tuning across memory allocation paths. On the package front, dracut-cachyos bumped to 112 [4] and librewolf-bin was dropped from the AUR-derived repo as it now ships in Arch Linux Extra [5]. The cachy-update tool rebased upstream to v4.1.4 [6] with translation updates and switched error handling to anyhow for cleaner propagation. All mirror endpoints report healthy status across the statuspage [7][8].
