This is great news, I migrated from vanilla Arch to CachyOS on my Framework 13 AMD a few months back since I primarily use it for Steam gaming, and it's worked great and netted me around 3fps on average across the games I play. I'm glad to see Framework supporting them directly.

I recommend installing proton-catchyos for faster shader compilation as well, but you might run into stability issues if you are on an unstable overclock due to how hard it is able to push the cpu with intrinsics.

Normal stress-ng I barely see 85 degrees while I saw shader compilation clock in 105c.

what changes did they make to make the shader compilation faster?

		it's compiled with similar optimizations as the kernel and has access to fast instrinsics (sse, avx)

I am pretty sure this already got installed, but I will double-check. I got a nice speedup for shader compilation afterwards. I am not overclocking my Framework 13.

		it does not come pre-installed and you have to select it.

I thought that got installed by default anyway

		me too, until I realized it was a completely independent thing that you can install on any distro

How does it do with scaling? That's been one of my main pain points with different Linux distros on my Framework (well, that, the trackpad scroll speed, and battery life/suspension)
