CACHY UPDATE V4.1.2 SHIPS WITH TURKISH SUPPORT AND RUSSIAN PROMPT FIX

By RepoJournal Β· Filed Β· About CachyOS Β· Composed from the cited sources Β· methodology

CachyOS rebased upstream to v4.1.2 while expanding localization across the stack and shipping three new kernel releases across 7.2-rc6, 7.1.6, and 6.18.42.

The cachy-update upstream rebase v4.1.2 [1] lands alongside major i18n work: Turkish translation now live [2], [4], and Russian confirmation prompts switched back to Latin [y/n] to eliminate keyboard layout friction on Cyrillic systems [3]. The new CLI installer is trimming its footprint, dropping Plymouth for ZFS encryption, PostgreSQL support, and Meson from CI [16], [17], [18]. Kernel team shipped three flavors: Linux 7.2-rc6-2 with new t2bce driver stack [12], 7.1.6-1 rebased upstream with POC 2.6.3 [14], and 6.18.42-1 with apple-bce staging driver and i915 quirks [13]. Package automation running steady: legcord to 1.3.0 [5], [6], GitHub Copilot tools updated [7], [8], and PHP bumped to 8.5.9-1 [15]. Wiki localization surge continues with cantosun99 AI-translating Russian across secure boot, sched-ext, gaming, Chrome flags, and automount docs [19], [20], [21], [22], [23]. Hyperland Noctalia 1.2.4 adds greeter support and zoom keybindings [11]. All infrastructure uptime green across China mirrors [9], [10].
