drm-awaiter recovers a black screen, hardened support lands in 7.2
By RepoJournal · Filed · About CachyOS · Composed from the cited sources · methodology
CachyOS's boot-time DRM waiter now drops into emergency.target instead of leaving a hung display, while the kernel patches tree picks up initial hardened support for 7.2 and hardware profiles expand to Framework Laptop 12 and Wildcat Lake.
cachyos-drm-awaiter: Handle driver(s) loading error CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
Where a failed driver load used to continue the boot silently and typically land on a black screen, cachyos-drm-awaiter now runs emergency.target to bring up a tty session, writes a log of the unsuccessful boot to /var/log/drm-awaiter, and tells the user what went wrong and how to recover.

Arch-Update now stores per-user state under $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and falls back to /run/user/$UID when that variable is unset, as happens under su; the project notes it has a strong requirement on running from a fully initialized runtime user session.

- → Replace heroic-games-launcher-bin if you installed it from cachyos-aur-derived, it has been dropped CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived [plan]
