CachyOS's custom kernel just advanced to 7.2.0-1, and the sched-ext toolchain is moving in lockstep.

The flagship CachyOS kernel has been bumped to 7.2.0-1 by ptr1337 [1], a release that flows straight into the package tree [2]. On the scheduler front, Piotr Gorski is pushing scx-scheds to 1.1.3 across both the COPR builds [3][4] and the CachyOS-PKGBUILDS desk [5], while scx-tools-git gets version and tag bumps [6] plus updated backports [7] and cake flags [8]. "scx-scheds: bump to 1.1.3" [3] lands as a coordinated release. Meanwhile, the aur-derived desk churned out routine browser and tool updates: Brave moves to 1.93.137 [9], Brave Origin matches [10], Vesktop hits 1.6.7 [11], Claude Code reaches 2.1.237 [12], and Helium Browser jumps to 0.15.6.1 [13]. Statuspage stayed green, with China mirrors at USTC and Nanjing both returning HTTP 200 [14][15].

Action items

→ Test linux-cachyos 7.2.0-1 in a staging environment before rolling to production CachyOS/linux-cachyos [plan]
→ Update scx-scheds to 1.1.3 and refresh scx-tools-git on all sched-ext deployments CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS [immediate]
→ Pull the latest aur-derived package bumps (vesktop, brave, claude-code) into your local cache CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived [monitor]
