CachyOS delivers a custom Arch Linux experience with a BORE Scheduler-optimized kernel and aggressive compiler flags, targeting power users demanding blistering speeds and stability.

By stripping away libc, re‑implementing core abstractions, and carefully managing allocations, a Rust‑based Wayland wallpaper daemon now runs at just 230 KB of resident set size. The post dissects each optimization, from a custom Wayland client to a no‑std allocator, and shows how they combine to deliver a lean, high‑performance daemon.

A modern revival of Dr. Petter's legendary sfxr algorithm, rFXGen offers developers a free, cross-platform solution for procedural sound generation. This open-source tool bridges retro aesthetics with contemporary workflows, featuring WebAssembly accessibility, standalone applications, and seamless export options for game development and beyond.

A solo developer is resurrecting the spirit of BlackBerry 10—not as a nostalgic skin, but as a full Linux-based mobile platform targeting decade-old hardware and modern Android phones alike. Marathon OS could become a proving ground for open, gesture-first UX and containerized Android app support in a post-Android monoculture world.

X.Org has disclosed three critical vulnerabilities in its X server and Xwayland implementations, including use-after-free and integer overflow flaws affecting systems running versions prior to 21.1.18 and 24.1.8 respectively. These decades-old security holes could enable arbitrary code execution and system crashes, demanding immediate patching. The fixes land in xorg-server 21.1.19 and xwayland 24.1.9.
