Arch Linux Powered CachyOS Now Defaults To Btrfs Rather Than XFS


Arch Linux derivative CachyOS that is optimized for a nice desktop experience and shipping a nice set of performance optimizations/tuning by default is out with its June 2024 refresh.

XFS and other file-systems can still be selected if so desired but Btrfs is the default moving forward. This June update to CachyOS also replaces Firewalld with UFW as the default firewall. The CachyOS Handheld Edition for the likes of the Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go, and ASUS ROG Ally is also now considered stable.
