CachyOS turned on systemd-oomd by default to counter a wave of out-of-memory freezes that followed removal of the le9uo patchset from its kernel, and reworked the snd_hda_intel power rules that were misreading USB-C supplies.

cachyos-settings: Enable oomd by default CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS

by Vasiliy Stelmachenok

The maintainer's own reasoning is blunt: "Since we have removed le9uo patchset from our kernel there are many similiar reports about system freezing due to out of memory sitations," and installing a proper OOM killer is meant to eliminate them. Updating the cachyos-settings package is what puts oomd in place.

20-audio-pm.rules: fix filtering Mains, empty state file, hardcoded BAT0 CachyOS/CachyOS-Settings

by droserasprout

Three defects in 20-audio-pm.rules, confirmed on an ASUS G14 GA401IV with AC0 plus BAT0 plus a USB-C source: rules 2 and 3 matched any power_supply uevent carrying POWER_SUPPLY_ONLINE=0 or 1 with no type filter, so a USB-C port supply reporting ONLINE=0 re-enabled codec power saving while on AC.

by Lev Gorodetskii

iw-set-regdomain now has a broader list of no-country zones and resolves backward-compatibility timezone aliases such as Asia/Calcutta to their canonical names before the country lookup, so wireless regulatory domains land on the right region.

by Vladislav Nepogodin

The new CLI installer stopped honoring a kernel set in the config; this commit makes it respect the user's choice, closing the reported issue.

legcord: drop package CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived

by witchlliee

legcord was dropped from the AUR-derived package set. Elsewhere: scx-scheds-git got a version and tag bump, cachyos-settings picked up a pkgver bump, game-performance learned tlpctl support, and sysctl can now perform REISUB by default.
