Proton CachyOS 11.0 rebases wine on Proton-EM
By RepoJournal · composed from the cited sources · human-reviewed weekly · methodology
CachyOS also rebased its kernel onto Linux 7.3-rc6 and pulled in Mutter 51.0 during the week of October 5 to 11.
Version 11.0-20261005 CachyOS/proton-cachyos
The SLR and Native builds follow Proton Experimental 11.0-20261001, and the wine submodule now sits on top of wine from Proton-EM rather than a hand-picked series of patches. The release notes say this "makes rebasing cons" going forward, so expect future Proton bumps to land on a cleaner base.
CachyOS Linux 7.3-rc6-1 CachyOS/linux
The kernel moves to Linux 7.3-rc6 and adds a 7.3/amd-iommu branch alongside updates to 7.3/fixes. Anyone tracking the cachyos-7.3-rc line picks up the i915 DPCD init fix for eDP among the upstream deltas.
fix(headers): install generated Rust files for out-of-tree Rust modules (#1071) CachyOS/linux-cachyos
Out-of-tree Rust modules such as bcachefs-dkms 1.39 and newer could not build against the packaged headers, failing with "error: couldn't find file .../build/rust/kernel/generated_arch_warn_asm.rs". The headers package now installs the generated Rust files, so DKMS builds stop breaking at kernel::warn_on!.
nvidia-580xx-utils: Limit egl-wayland2 usage to KWin only CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
The 580xx utils package now enables egl-wayland2 only for KWin, after the recent changes caused regressions in GNOME and webkit. GNOME and webkit users on the 580xx driver get their working path back.
mutter: 51.0 CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
The update rebases the tearing patch and carries a fix for the chwd issue. Testing was brief, per the commit, so treat the tearing behavior as freshly reworked rather than long-settled.
dkms: Update to v3.4.4 CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
dkms moves to v3.4.4 in the PKGBUILDs, alongside bumps to devtools and limine in the same boot-stack pass.
zen-browser-bin: update to 1.23b CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived
The AUR-derived bin package goes 1.22.3b to 1.23b, and an automated follow-up within the period brings it to 1.23.1b. Alongside: sunshine moved to 2026.1004.122811, proton-pass to 1.42.0, claude-desktop to 2.26454.0, and ayugram-desktop to 7.2.9, all with checksums regenerated and no risk flags from the static diff scan.
