CachyOS July 2025 Ships With Mesa Patched For Anti-Lag, Plasma Defaulting To Wayland


The popular Arch Linux based CachyOS operating system is out with its 'July 2025' update for providing the latest innovations for this performance-optimized, feature-rich Linux distribution.

Users can choose between Fish and Zsh shell options or otherwise defaulting to Bash if neither is selected. CachyOS is also now including Fwupd by default for the KDE Plasma and GNOME desktop installations. This merge request remains pending against Mesa for implementing VK_AMD_anti_lag as an implicit Vulkan layer.
