"The biggest change for CachyOS is that it now uses the Wayland windowing system. Because Wayland is considerably more modern than X11, I have found it generally performs better. (X11 has been around for a very long time and uses older, sometimes outdated architecture.) Given that CachyOS was already one of the fastest full-blown Linux desktop distributions, you can imagine it received another speed boost."
"And when you combine CachyOS, Wayland, and KDE Plasma, the desktop just screams, "On your left!" (If you don't get the reference, ask one of your cycling buddies. 😉) CachyOS also replaces the KDE Plasma default login manager, SDDM, with Limine. Limine is more modern and configurable than other Linux boot managers, making it a perfect fit for the CachyOS ethos. Limine can be themed and fully customized. You can check out the various options here."
CachyOS is an Arch-based rolling-release distribution that recently received a major desktop-focused upgrade. The distribution now defaults to the Wayland windowing system, which yields improved performance compared with X11. Users who upgrade existing installations receive the updates automatically. The Wayland build, combined with KDE Plasma, noticeably increases desktop responsiveness. CachyOS replaces the KDE Plasma default login manager SDDM with Limine, a more modern and configurable boot/login manager that supports theming and full customization. The release emphasizes speed, configurability, polished desktop options, and continued user-friendly improvements while remaining free to use.
