Framework Sponsorship for CachyOS

Hey CachyOS Community,

We have some massive news to share today. Framework, the company behind the modular and repairable laptop revolution, is now sponsoring CachyOS.

For an open-source project like ours, finding hardware partners who genuinely care about Linux is rare. Framework has not only provided us with a Framework Laptop 16 to help us optimize our kernel and packages on modern hardware, but they have also committed to a $250 monthly donation.

While we are still a community-driven project, this contribution amounts to about 10% of our total monthly donations. Every bit of support like this helps stabilize our infrastructure and fuels our ultimate goal: eventually working on CachyOS full-time to bring you the fastest, most optimized Linux experience possible.

Please go show them some love and check out their blog post regarding further sponsorships:

Thanks to Framework and thanks to all of you for using CachyOS!

Name a more iconic duo

[congratulations, its well deserved]

This is fantastic news! Congratulations.

I’m impressed. Congratulations on this success, may it advance the project!

Someone tell cloudflare so they can match it. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I just switched to CachyOS a few days ago. Really look forward to future updates!

They are the nr.1 on my hw wishlist.

You deserve it, keep it up!!

Awesome news! Congrats team :tada:

This are good news! I use CachyOs over one year and there are whithout any problems and i want to keep it for a long time…

Thanks to the cachy-team and framework!

Shocked to here the amount they’ve been getting is so low with the distro being so popular.

I am very excited to install the official COSMIC version. I do have one irritant with CachyOS because of my need to choose the “Canadian French” keyboard layout during the installation process.
On first boot immediately after the reboot message, the keyboard layout presented is the USA layout.
But my password includes characters sucjh as “é” and “ô” . Ergo, after doing the logon, I do sudo update stuff for root, and as well as for my own logon.

As I said, it is an irritant, and yes, once logged into the new system, the true keyboard layout is installed. (Calamara installer issue only) .

Memorize the US keyboard layout for your characters.

You will need this information if you ever need to use an emergency shell.

I want a Framework Laptop 16.

me too. The modular design is so cool, ease of repair and upgradability make it like a star shining amongst the dark backdrop of the majority of other computers and brands that push for anti repairability and the such.

Nice!

Maybe potential for custom UEFI//BIOS would be in the future for Cachy and more distros with Linux gaining more interest.

Well deserved! How are framework laptops quality wise? I had dell XPS series or Lenovo in the past for their all metal build and decent quality. Modularity is great but only if it’s still durable.

You deserve it, congrats!

I recently became an Arch Tester (obvs running the testing repos on a separate Arch install). And I have noticed how often your name pops up in the testing packages.

It’s nice to see how you also contribute upstream, of course those are packages CachyOS needs too, but your project really does benefit the wider Arch userbase too.

I think a distro like this helps the whole Linux ecosystem. I see more and more news about other distros offering optimized packages.

Awesome - just sent them an enquiry about their products and whats involved with purchase, returns and warranty for international customers (like way down here in Australia). Am looking for a new laptop so this caught my attention. Congrats.
