CachyOS shipped v1.2.1 of its Hyprland config to fix breaking changes in noctalia beta3, then patched a typo hours later with v1.2.2.

In brief

Noctalia v1.2.2 lands after v1.2.1 the same day. CachyOS's Hyprland spin is iterating hard on hotfixes. if you're running 1.2.0, worth jumping.
Mesa 26.1.5 shipped in CachyOS packages. minor bump but GPU drivers move fast. check your repos if you're on the bleeding edge.
NVIDIA RTX 5090 hardware acceleration landed in CachyOS docs. Vivaldi got added too. the wiki's tracking real hardware now, not vaporware.
CachyOS-Nord-KDE updated for Plasma 6.7. theme maintenance is boring work. someone did it anyway.

The Hyprland noctalia release [1] addresses environment variable and windowsrules tweaks for NVIDIA users [2], catching issues that broke setups on the latest beta. A typo slip cost a v1.2.2 follow-up the same day [3]. Across the ecosystem, CachyOS-Nord-KDE updated for Plasma 6.7 [6], Mesa jumped to 26.1.5-1 with a patch removal [7], and the ananicy-rules expansion continues with 30+ new games and application rules now live [4] [5]. Documentation got tightened with a Hyprland migration guide [8] and verified NVIDIA hardware decode paths for Vivaldi [9]. AUR packages trickled updates: github-copilot-cli to 1.0.71 [10], pixelflasher to 9.1.5.0 [11], and claude-desktop to 1.21459.3 [12]. Status pages show all mirrors healthy across China and global endpoints [13] [14].
