CachyOS shipped kernel 7.1.7 overnight while extending its mirror footprint across Europe and adding Simplified Chinese to the wiki.

The kernel upgrade to 7.1.7 landed in copr-linux-cachyos [1], closing out recent ISO testing failures that prompted the rate-mirrors bump [2]. In parallel, the mirror network grew with a new UK endpoint at repo.c48.uk [3], and the Russia Mirror at archlinux.gay confirmed stable uptime [4]. On the tooling front, scx-manager bumped to 1.15.12 [6] and scx-tools-git received version and tag updates [5], keeping the scheduler toolchain current. The wiki gained Simplified Chinese translation, described as a critical gap: the contributor noted "this is the last of the four most important languages" after updating Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese [7]. Mobile UX also tightened with hamburger menu improvements that surface the language switcher higher, fixing the unintuitive footer-only placement that confused new users [8]. Live ISO builds now target noctalia-greeter explicitly instead of greetd to preserve Cosmic Desktop greeter compatibility [9].
