The rolling release model is advantageous because you never have to install a new release version and you always have the latest application versions. On the downside, this also means that new applications and features may not be as fully tested, and that older hardware may run out of support as new kernels are pushed out. | The rolling release model is advantageous because you never have to install a new release version and you always have the latest application versions.

This August 2025 version, CachyOS 2025.08.25, brought a long list of new things over the previous July download. Some of the highlights are the introduction of the linux-cachyos-lts LTS Linux kernel fallback as a hedge against stability issues, the ISO now uses the LTS kernel instead of the latest stable kernel, and this update adds the Niri window manager as a desktop option. Choosing the combination of the GRUB bootloader with BTRFS as the filesystem now automatically enables bootable snapshots. S0ix sleep is now supported on NVIDIA hardware.
