The flagship kernel release lands with a critical scheduler floor patch and a new upstream base.

CachyOS pushed linux 7.2.1-1 today, rebased from 7.2.0 to 7.2.1 with a new gaming-sched fix that floors tg_cpus() at 1 [1]. The update also drops the 7.2/s5-power branch entirely, so anyone running that branch needs to migrate to the default config. Alongside the kernel, the COPR RT kernel namespace collision got fixed: regular and RT builds now get distinct release names, which should end the file ownership conflicts reported in #110 [2]. On the package side, mesa synced with Archlinux [3], and the derived packages desk pushed fresh builds for sunshine, chatgpt-desktop-bin, claude-code, claude-desktop, and plasmazones [4][5][6][7][8]. The ananicy rules repo added a rule for uzdoom, merged in PR #600 [9]. Mirror health is mixed: two China mirrors are up, but two Russia mirrors are down, including metrosg.ru and jura12 [10][11][12][13]. The wiki fixed spelling issues and unified GRUB EFI partition minimums to 512 MiB across Czech and Slovak guides, closing a size inconsistency that could cause install failures [14][15].
