CachyOS synced linux-firmware with Arch and bumped mkinitcpio to 41.1-1, while the package automation pipeline keeps qview and qtscrcpy current across the AUR-derived repo.

Peter Jung landed two core system updates to CachyOS-PKGBUILDS: linux-firmware synchronized with upstream Arch [1] and mkinitcpio moved to 41.1-1 [2], both signed commits that keep the boot and hardware layers stable. On the package automation front, qview joined the AUR-derived collection at version 7.1 [3][4], while the bot pipeline handled two point releases: qtscrcpy jumped from 4.1.0 to 4.1.1 [6] and fluxer-canary advanced to 2026.811.124022 [5], each passing checksums and source verification with no static diff risk flags. The statuspage bot cycled through its routine health checks and graph updates [7][8][9][10][11], and vermium applied a CSS fix to the zyner logo on the website [12] to match the rounded-lg styling standard. Across all four repos this period: 37 commits, 4 PRs.

Action items

→ Review and test qtscrcpy 4.1.1 and fluxer-canary 2026.811.124022 before next sync CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived [plan]
→ Test mkinitcpio 41.1-1 boot path if you maintain initramfs workflows CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS [plan]
→ Monitor statuspage health; all systems nominal CachyOS/statuspage [monitor]
