Proton 11.0 lands experimental low-latency graphics support while CachyOS adds a Hungary mirror to its distribution tier.
Proton 11.0-20260703 is live with netborg-afps's vkd3d-low-latency integrated as an optional feature, gated behind `PROTON_VKD3D_LOWLATENCY=1` [1]. This is a bugfix release tracking the SLR baseline, but the low-latency option carries important caveats: read the status and limitations docs before enabling it in production workloads [1]. On the infrastructure side, CachyOS deployed a Hungary mirror (Tier 2) syncing from Norway every 30 minutes over 10gbps rsync [2], improving package delivery across Central Europe. Across the AUR-derived stack, five routine package updates landed overnight: walker to 2.17.0 [3], github-copilot-cli to 1.0.73 [4], gale to 1.19.0 [5], faugus-launcher to 2.0.1 [6], and claude-code to 2.1.216 [7]. All passed checksum verification with no risk flags detected. China Mirror uptime holding steady at both USTC and Nanjing endpoints [8] [9].
Action items
- β Test Proton 11.0 in non-critical workloads first; review vkd3d-low-latency limitations before production CachyOS/proton-cachyos [plan]
- β Sync package updates in cachyos-aur-derived for walker, copilot-cli, gale, faugus-launcher, claude-code CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived [plan]
- β Monitor Hungary mirror performance (Tier 2) over next 48 hours CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS [monitor]
