A month and a half after the previous January update, the Archbased performance focused Casios has released its second update of the year powered by the Linux kernel 6.19. A key change is the addition of animated previews in the installer. When selecting a desktop environment, users now see GIF or WEBP clips that offer a quick visual overview of each option. Previews are available for KD Plasma, Gnome, Nyrie, and Cosmic. Moreover, the desktop selection list has been reorganized with environments now ordered from simpler setups to more advanced configurations such as window managers. The installer also improves hardware handling by automatically detecting and installing the correct CPU microode package instead of installing both Intel and AMD versions. Windboat integration is another key addition. Users can now install and enable Winboat with a single click via the Casios welcome application. This tool provides a Windows virtual machine within Docker, simplifying the use of Windows software alongside Linux. System configuration tools have also been updated. In Kacio settings, the wireless regulatory domain is now set automatically based on the user's time zone. Additionally, the bug reporting script now automatically redacts sensitive data, including IP addresses, host names, usernames, and MAC addresses before submission. The handheld edition includes several platform specific changes for gaming devices. Games Scope Session Plus has been replaced with Gamecope Session Kachios, a fork of Valve's Gamecope session that enables firmware updates for devices such as the Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go. The login manager has also changed with plasma login manager now replacing SDDDM. Boot management has also been updated. The handheld variant now uses lemon as the default bootloadader which enables automatic snapshots. System deboot remains available as an option. The handheld installer has been merged with the desktop calamari's installer and the installation environment now runs on Wayland instead of X11. Finally, this release includes several fixes. The installer removes patchifs from the file system selection because it now requires the separate patchif DK mess module. The team also resolved issues with LUKS2 encryption on certain devices and fixed problems enabling the ly display manager. For more information, see the announcement. For most users, a standard system upgrade with a simple pseudo Pac-Man su command is sufficient to receive all improvements.
