This results in a 10 percent performance increase for both LLVM and Clang compilers and a 1.5% gain for the GCC compiler.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPackages such as <code>svt-av1<\/code>, <code>nodejs<\/code>, and <code>ripgrep<\/code> have been optimized using PGO. We are committed to further enhancing our packages and boosting their performance. Additionally, we have integrated cherry-picked patches into <code>glibc<\/code> and <code>gcc<\/code> from <code>clearlinux<\/code>,\u201d shared the CachyOS developers in a <em><a href=\"https:\/\/cachyos.org\/blog\/2409-september-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">blog announcement<\/a><\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The in-house package <code>cachyos-kde-settings<\/code> has been refreshed in this release to include a configuration file for the SDDM login manager tailored for GPUs that are compatible with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/lxqt-2-1-promises-experimental-wayland-session-styling-improvements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wayland<\/a><\/strong> (legacy NVIDIA). This modification sets Wayland as the default for SDDM users, facilitating the application of refresh rates, resolution, and other display settings during the session.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The <code>cachyos-settings<\/code> package has undergone several improvements, including enhanced support for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/networkmanager-1-48-improves-detection-of-6-ghz-band-capability-for-wi-fi-devices\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NetworkManager<\/a><\/strong>. This update utilizes systemd-resolved as the backend, resolves issues with Steam downloads, and introduces an NTP Server for systemd-timesyncd, effectively tackling problems users reported with the default time servers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Additionally, the CachyOS release for September 2024 updates the Calamares graphical installer to ensure it properly unmounts the root file system post-installation. It also improves the \u201cLaunch Installer\u201d feature to synchronize the time with the hardware clock and modifies the repository synchronization frequency, reducing the wait time between the Arch Linux repositories and CachyOS&#8217;s optimized packages from three hours to one hour.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cBeginning from 27.09.24, we will automatically apply <code>-fno-semantic-interposition<\/code> to -fpic compiled packages, which can significantly enhance the performance of many shared packages,\u201d noted the CachyOS developers. \u201cFurthermore, we have commenced the transition from <code>zlib<\/code> to <code>zlib-ng<\/code> [\u2026] a more contemporary alternative to zlib, offering improved performance and advanced techniques.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>CachyOS can be downloaded from the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/cachyos.org\/download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official website<\/a><\/em>. It is available in both Desktop and Handheld editions. The Handheld edition is compatible with various devices, including Rog Ally, Steam Deck OLED and LCD, and Legion GO handhelds. Following a rolling-release model akin to Arch Linux, once you install CachyOS, you will receive continuous updates. Therefore, current users of CachyOS simply need to run the <code>sudo pacman -Syu<\/code> command to keep their systems up to date.<\/p>\n<p><i>Last updated 3 seconds ago<\/i><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CachyOS distribution, which is based on Arch Linux and emphasizes KDE Plasma, has announced a new ISO release for September 2024 that includes a range of enhancements and optimizations aimed at boosting performance.
