The tuned project just killed laptop_mode and switched THP to always-on, a performance play that will hit every CachyOS desktop default.

The tuned team shipped a trio of profile changes that reshape default power and performance behavior [1][2][3]. Removing vm.laptop_mode=5 [1] and dropping the cachyos-laptop profile [3] to keep three profiles for PPD mapping is a consolidation play. Meanwhile, dropping THP madvise for cachyos-desktop [2] signals a performance-first stance, with committer Vasiliy Stelmachenok saying THP always gives much performance gain in most cases. On the desktop side, claude-code bumps to 2.1.246 [4] and php hits 8.5.10-1 [5]. For those with AZERTY or non-QWERTY keyboards, Hyprland users get a fix for workspace keybinds [6]: physical evdev keycodes replace digit characters. The Russian wiki translation got a quality pass using Qwen3.8-27B [7], with Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese next. Finally, the Russia mirror jura12 is down [8], while China mirrors are back up [9]. Overall, 55 commits and 9 PRs across 7 repos this period.
