CachyOS Introduces Packages Dashboard, GRUB+Btrfs Bootable Snapshots

Written by Michael Larabel in Arch Linux on 24 August 2025 at 09:40 AM EDT. 44 Comments
Popular Arch Linux based distribution CachyOS is out today with its August 2025 ISO refresh.

CachyOS with a focus on enhanced stability is now installing the Linux LTS kernel out-of-the-box as a kernel fallback on new systems even if running the latest upstream kernel. The CachyOS ISO media is also defaulting to using the LTS kernel rather than the latest stable kernel.

The CachyOS ISO refresh also now adds the Wayland-based Niri compositor as a new option when using the online installation method for this Linux distribution.

CachyOS when using the Btrfs file-system has already supported bootable snapshots with the Liminie bootloader. Now using CachyOS with the GRUB bootloader and Btrfs also yields bootable snapshots support.

CachyOS has also enabled s0ix sleep support when using NVIDIA graphics and has a number of other updates.
