CachyOS Adds Limine Bootloader, Easier Samba Integration & NTSYNC Wine
The Arch Linux powered CachyOS is out with its March 2025 update that delivers a number of new features for this OS that is popular with open-source enthusiasts and power users for its out-of-the-box performance optimizations and extensive tuning.
The CachyOS March 2025 release adds Limine as a new bootloader alternative for both UEFI and BIOS booting. For enhancing the Samba/SMB file/printer sharing experience on CachyOS, there is now a "cachyos-samba-settings" package to configure and establish Samba support on the distribution. This new CachyOS release also re-enables NVIDIA GSP usage by the NVIDIA closed-source kernel module, the CachyOS kernel is now patched with the new ASUS Armoury driver for better ROG Ally support, and the Wine / Wine-Staging patches now default to using the NTSYNC support found in Linux 6.14+ rather than Winesync.
