The final 7.2.0 kernel is out, and it brings the muqss and prjc schedulers plus a slew of gaming fixes.

CachyOS Linux 7.2.0-1 is out, rebased from rc7 to the stable 7.2.0 and adding the s5-power branch [1]. The kernel-patches desk prepped the way by adding muqss and prjc schedulers [2][3], with the handheld patchset also landing [4]. Gaming users get a bigger win: proton-cachyos-native has been converted to wow64-only [5], and gaming-meta dependencies were updated to match [6]. Rare also bumped to 1.12.0.221 [7]. On the package front, the AUR-derived desk pushed way-displays to 2.0.0 [8] and joplin to 3.7.12 [9]. Over on the wiki, the Japanese translation got a manual cleanup after an accidental AI merge [10]. And the public dashboard migrated to tanstack table v9, the one breaking change in the dependency bump [11].

Action items

→ Update to cachyos-linux 7.2.0-1 for the new schedulers and s5-power branch CachyOS/linux [immediate]
→ Test proton-cachyos-native after the wow64-only conversion for any regressions CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS [plan]
→ Review the public-dashboard dependency bump for breaking changes beyond tanstack v9 CachyOS/public-dashboard [monitor]
