CachyOS is shipping a new kernel meanwhile patching its scheduler stack, and that combination is exactly what you want before your next deploy.

CachyOS rolled out Kernel 7.1.8 to its COPR repos [1], a bump that lands alongside a scx-scheds-git version and tag update [2] from Piotr Gorski. That same maintainer added a fix for muqss in the 7.2 kernel-patches branch [3], so users on the 7.2 line should watch for that patch. The website got a round of dependency bumps [4], followed by a second pass [5], and a small logo fix [6], while the wiki also updated its dependencies [7]. The status page is mostly robot traffic: the uptime bot bumped Upptime to v1.43.15 [8] and confirmed the China Mirror (USTC) is up, responding in 989 ms [9]. Nothing here is a security emergency, but the kernel and scheduler updates are meaningful for anyone running CachyOS in production. The team is clearly iterating fast, with 57 commits across five repos in the last 24 hours. Ship with confidence, but make sure you're on the latest kernel.
