CachyOS 240224 was released today for this Arch Linux derived desktop distribution that focuses on being a "blazingly fast and customizable Linux distribution" with a variety of desktop options, employing LTO and other optimizations for packages, optional x86-64-v3 binaries, and other tuning to make for a speedy out-of-the-box Linux experience.

CachyOS 240224 has updated against the Linux 6.7.6 kernel, Mesa 24.0.1 graphics drivers are now present, the NVIDIA 550.54.14 proprietary driver option even made it in, a newer GCC 13.2.1 compiler snapshot, and perhaps the biggest upgrade is moving to the GNU C Library 2.39. Glibc 2.39 was released at the end of January with many improvements to this libc implementation.
