A new CachyOS snapshot for July 2024 is out today with various improvements and some exciting new features, especially for AMD users, as well as the usual bug fixes and other changes to improve your experience.
Starting with this release, CachyOS will automatically enable a software repository on new installations that will be used to provide the best performance for AMD Zen 4 and Zen 5 machines. In addition, the ISO now features automatic architecture checks for the Zen 4/Zen 5 repository and CachyOS’s hardware detection tool (chwd) received support for AMD GPUs for better detection of official ROCm-supported GPUs.
This is essentially about using AVX512 instructions for some applications.
I feel like software that actually needs those CPU features will have it implemented their own way anyway to probe for and use it (since it seems like nobody but cachy or custom kernel runs anything but V1)
I guess I should try out cachyOS by now.
Heard so many good things of it
