Official FW13 support for CachyOS

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
1

Hello Friends.

I’ve been using FW13 for a while. I’ve tried multiple distros including Ubuntu and Fedora 43. Somehow I always gravitate back to CachyOS. Why? Well:

  • insane performance with packages using x64v3/v4
  • clean distro - no fluff
  • great default customization - very work focused custom Terminal Emulator config
  • KDE as primary DE
  • GREAT Wiki - prob the best wiki for n00bs like me that is easily comprehensible
  • very active community
  • TONS of possibilities when it comes to easy customization - e.g
      • AMD P-State driver (active/guided/passive modes)
      • Energy Performance Preference (EPP)
      • Core Performance Boost per-core control
      • power-profiles-daemon (CachyOS-patched for AMD)

      Sched-Ext Schedulers

      • scx_lavd with Core Compaction
      • scx_bpfland, scx_rusty, scx_fair, scx_p powersave modes
      • Autopilot/Autopower modes

      Kernel

      • RCU Lazy (5-10% idle savings)
      • NO_HZ_FULL tickless
      • PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
      • LTO Clang Thin

      GPU

      • NVIDIA RTD3 udev rules
      • PRIME offload (dGPU sleep)
      • AMDGPU video playback patches

      Storage

      • SATA power management rules

At some point while using Fedora I just realized that I’m trying to make Fedora into CachyOS which turned out to be very time consuming. CachyOS has been on top of DistroWatch hits for a while now, so I think that the interest is there

Would it be possible for FW13 to officially support it?

Best regards

I was loving Cachy on my FW13, right up until an update caused it to freeze on boot last week. A couple of wasted hours got it working again, but it did take the shine off a bit.

Hopefully, the sponsorship will mean Cachy tests updates on FW machines before release.
