ly-dm was being pinned to the idle scheduler, killing your login session's responsiveness.

A fix in ananicy-rules [1] stops the ly-dm session launcher from inheriting SCHED_IDLE, a policy that previously stuck to descendants and dragged down desktop startup. The patch [2] switches ly-dm to the established Launcher type, which "retains the intended background nice/IO behavior while explicitly restoring the normal scheduler policy." Meanwhile, CachyOS-PKGBUILDS moved Rare to Python 3.13 [3], ensuring the Heroic Games Launcher fork builds cleanly against the current interpreter. Cachy-Update advanced to v4.1.6 [4], and linux-cachyos bumped ZFS to the 2.4.4 release commit [5]. The rest of the day was routine package bumps: teams-for-linux 2.17.1 [6], shader-slang 2026.16 [7], floorp-bin 12.17.0 [8], plasmazones 3.3.9 [9], and brave-bin 1.93.138 [10] all landed with clean static scans, plus statuspage bot churn [11].
