A hotfix for the scx_cake scheduler and the latest Linux 7.2 kernel are rolling out across CachyOS repos.

The big news is the scx_cake hotfix [1] and version bump [2], which address a scheduler issue with a patch from upstream sched-ext [1]. Scheduler backports for the latest kernel [3] and updated configs for the BMQ kernel [4] are also in. On the graphics front, Mesa 26.2.1 [5] lands, and the bootloader Limine 12.6.0 [6] ships. The desktop spin noctilia swaps the screenshot tool Satty for Swash [7] and disables greeter sync [8]. Finally, the status page bots churned out routine graph and summary updates [9][10][11][12][13], and the wiki got a small FAQ cleanup [14].

Action items

→ Update to the scx_scheds hotfix to resolve the scheduler issue CachyOS/copr-linux-cachyos [immediate]
→ Review the Linux 7.2 kernel config changes for BMQ CachyOS/linux-cachyos [plan]
→ Evaluate the Satty-to-Swash swap in cachyos-hypr-noctalia CachyOS/cachyos-hypr-noctalia [plan]
