Introducing CachyOS Kernel Manager:

We have worked on a application which gives a better overview which kernel are installed or can be installed on your system. For the future we thought about to implement also a possibility to compile the CachyOS kernels with several options simply over the kernel manager which will help easier to configre the kernel compile to suite their own needs.
