CachyOS has officially released its April 2026 ISO refresh, bringing a host of technical refinements and new features to the Arch Linux-based distribution. A major highlight of this release is the introduction of 'Shelly' as the new default graphical user interface for package management, replacing previous solutions. Additionally, the system now defaults to the Kyber I/O scheduler for NVMe drives, a move designed to optimize storage throughput and reduce latency. The update also encompasses expanded hardware compatibility and general system polishing to provide a smoother experience for performance-focused users.
