CachyOS ISO Snapshot for March 2025 Brings New Bootloader, Linux Kernel 6.14

posted by Marius Nestor on Mar 30, 2025,
updated Apr 01, 2025

Powered by the Linux 6.14 kernel series and featuring the KDE Plasma 6.3.3 desktop environment, the CachyOS ISO snapshot for March 2025 ships with a new bootloader, namely Limine, which supports both BIOS and UEFI firmware, along with out-of-the-box support for Btrfs snapshots.

This release also introduces a new package called cachyos-samba-settings to help users configure and set up Samba support on CachyOS, re-enables the GSP Firmware for the closed-source NVIDIA kernel module, and adds support for the “ASUS Armoury” driver used by the ROG Ally and other devices for fan and power management.

CachyOS March 2025 Release Brings Limine Bootloader

Almost two months after its previous February release, powered by the latest and greatest Linux kernel 6.14, the Arch-based gamers-focused CachyOS has rolled out its second 2025 update.

One of the most notable highlights is the new Limine bootloader, designed to support both BIOS and UEFI systems. Much like GRUB, Limine offers a certain level of theming capability, meaning users can personalize their boot screens.

Original:

CachyOS March 2025 Release — CachyOS

The first major change is that we have added a new Bootloader. Limine is a great bootloader, which can be used for BIOS and UEFI. Limine also supports some theming like Grub. We have also added direct btrfs snapshot support, like it works with “grub-btrfs”. This has been greatly tested from our side and works well. The snapshots will be enabled out of the box for all installations which are using BTRFS as a filesystem.

Announced on Sunday, March 30, the ISO release brings with it the latest official Linux kernel, version 6.14. There is also now support for Limine, an alternative to GRUB as a bootloader, which CachyOS lets you choose at installation. There's also a new CachyOS-exclusive package called cachyos-samba-settings that's meant to make Samba setup and use easier.

GNOME 48 also arrives with this update, bringing CachyOS up to par with other bleeding-edge Linux distros that support the popular desktop environment. In case you missed it, GNOME 48 brought additions like better battery health management, a more feature-rich image viewer, and a simple audio player called Decibels.
