CachyOS provides a collection of enhanced Linux kernels designed for improved performance across different workloads. Our kernels feature multiple CPU schedulers, advanced compiler optimizations, and carefully selected patches to deliver better responsiveness and throughput.
All CachyOS kernels are available in multiple architecture optimizations: x86-64, x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4, and znver4. The default linux-cachyos kernel is compiled with GCC due a bug at the NVIDIA Driver.
Each scheduler is optimized for different use cases. We recommend testing each one to find the best fit for your specific requirements.
Our repositories contain optimized Arch Linux and CachyOS packages rebuilt with performance, stability, and security enhancements.
About CachyOS Pacman: This installs a forked version of pacman with CachyOS-specific features like INSTALLED_FROM tracking and automatic architecture detection. While this provides enhanced functionality, it may cause compatibility warnings with standard Arch Linux workflows.
Alternative: If you prefer to avoid the custom pacman, skip the cachyos repository and only use the optimized package repositories (cachyos-v3, cachyos-v4, cachyos-extra, etc.).
