CachyOS has announced the launch of its March 2025 release, emphasizing enhanced hardware support. The update features the incorporation of a new bootloader, Limine, which is compatible with both BIOS and UEFI, along with direct Btrfs snapshot support.
The package "cachyos-samba-settings" is included to provide support for Samba. The GSP firmware for the closed-source kernel module has been reactivated, and the ASUS Armoury driver has been incorporated for fan and power management. The Wine package has been tailored to utilize "WoW64" for removing dependencies from lib32 libraries, with Wine and Wine-Staging set to default to NTSync rather than winesync. Support has been introduced for RDNA4, RTX 5070 Ti, and 5070. The latest kernel has eliminated the "crc32c-intel" module, which was previously preloaded by mkinitcpio when utilizing an Intel CPU. The package updates consist of linux-cachyos 6.14.0, NVIDIA 570.133.07, Gnome 48, Plasma 6.3.3, mesa 25.0.2, linux-api-headers 6.14.0, and linux-tools 6.14.0.
