Hello CachyOS Enthusiasts,

This is our 11th release this year, which is intended as a fixing release.

There has been an increased amount of reports, that people with RDNA3 and AMD iGPU’s were not able to get a graphical session on the ISO, this has been fixed with adding xf86-video-amdgpu.
Besides that there are some fixes for the sddm wayland session for KDE, which should be now fully resolved. There are some more fixes with the upcoming Plasma 6.2 release, which should make the experience better.

Also, we have fixed reinstalling profiles with our hardware detection, this helps if users are changing their hardware or want to reinstall the driver packages.

Besides that we had some common package updates, like the kernel, mesa, python and scx-scheds.

Changelog for this Release:

Features:

  • Package Updates: linux-cachyos 6.11.1, mesa 24.2.4, scx-scheds 1.0.5, python 3.12.7

Bug Fixes:

  • sddm: Pulled in newer sddm to fix wayland session logins
  • ISO: Added xf86-video-amdgpu to fix graphical session loading on some setups
  • chwd: Fixed reinstallation of profiles

Manual changes for existing users:

No special changes required.
Users who are on the legacy NVIDIA Driver (470xx and 390xx) need to remove the cachyos-kde-settings package due to the usage of Wayland.
Simply running: sudo pacman -R cachyos-kde-settings solves the issue.

The latest ISO has the same sound issue for me. Even in Live session mode, CachyOS doesn’t see sound devices. The icon in the system tray is crossed with red line even in Live session before the actual installation on the hard drive. EndeavourOS, Manjaro, Fedora, OpenSUSE Thumbleweed, Debian, MX-Linux successfully recognize sound devises after the installation. All on the same PC. CachyOS - not. Neither before the installation nor after it.

UPD I can confirm now, that ISO dated of 24-10-03 sees sound devices during Live session, but still no devices after the installation. Yes, I reinstalled the OS.

Sounds likely something with the 6.11 Kernel. You can retest after the installation a 6.6 Kernel

Are the links to the Handheld edition ISO broken for everyone or just me?

We didnt do any handheld release in the above one.

I see, but there are links in the blog post: CachyOS October 2024 Release — CachyOS Perhaps they should be removed then?

Sorry, will remove. Please use it from the old blog post.
