Hello everyone.
Is the kernel inux-cachyos-autofdo no longer available ?
I don’t see the entry in the Kernel Manager anymore, but I still have it installed.
Do I have to uninstall it now ?

Apparently, It’s been merged into the main cachyos kernel

I had to just remove

sudo pacman -Rns linux-cachyos-autofdo-nvidia-open

as I couldn’t update my system, I believe AutoFDO still shows for me too as installed, not really sure if we need to do anything else, I too would like to know

That has been asked in the past days here. The kernel is not maintained anymore, just switch to the normal kernel, it has autofdo now by default.
