systemd-oomd configs return, NVIDIA sleep check drops lspci
By RepoJournal · Filed · About CachyOS · Composed from the cited sources · methodology
CachyOS reverted its systemd-oomd config removal now that the le9 patch is gone, and chwd stopped probing PCI to detect NVIDIA discrete GPUs, the two changes on today's wire most likely to alter behavior on existing installs.
Return systemd-oomd configuration (#269) CachyOS/CachyOS-Settings
The oomd configuration dropped in commit 308e69c comes back because CachyOS no longer carries the le9 patch, with the handler now killing based on swap usage and set to ignore user sessions during OOM so the desktop environment survives. Anyone who relied on the removal should re-check what the restored defaults do to their memory-pressure behavior.
profiles/nvidia: Do not use lspci to check on NVIDIA dGPU (#282) CachyOS/chwd
chwd's NVIDIA profile no longer calls lspci, which walked every PCI device and could knock an NVIDIA dGPU out of its sleep state, adding roughly a second of delay on startup. Detection now avoids the bus scan entirely.
noctalia(fix): replace deprecated config option CachyOS/cachyos-mango-noctalia
The noctalia config in cachyos-mango-noctalia no longer uses a deprecated option, and the mango gap-out value moved to 30 in a companion commit.
devtools: add networkd log level patch CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
CachyOS-PKGBUILDS picked up a networkd log level patch in devtools with a pkgrel bump, alongside an arch-install-scripts checksum fix and a change putting pacstrap in a private run. The 7.3 kernel patchset gained BORE 7.0.0, and the AUR-derived side ran its usual automated bumps: sunshine to 2026.921.13701, github-copilot-cli to 1.0.87, github-copilot-app-bin to 1.1.23, yabsnap to 2.4.4.
