    ZypherOS 0.3.2 Alpha Release Notes

    Release Date: March 25, 2026
    Status: Alpha

    Version 0.3.2 is a major "Quality of Life" and hardware compatibility update. While previous releases focused on deployment infrastructure and aesthetics, this milestone ensures ZypherOS feels exceptionally intelligent, responsive, and stable on a wide variety of daily-driver hardware—especially laptops.

    Hardware & Laptop Optimizations

    • Dynamic Power Management: The installer intelligently detects if the target system is a laptop. If a battery is detected, power-profiles-daemon is automatically installed and enabled, natively integrating with the KDE Plasma battery applet for instant power-saving profiles.
    • Wayland Touchpad Defaults: Trackpads behave intuitively out of the box on Wayland. "Tap-to-click" and "Natural Scrolling" are enforced globally via default user skeleton configurations (kcminputrc).
    • Bluetooth FastConnect: Enabled Experimental and FastConnectable features in the core BlueZ configuration, drastically improving connection speeds and battery reporting for modern wireless earbuds and controllers.
    • NVIDIA DKMS Integration: Swapped the static nvidia package for nvidia-dkms. This guarantees that if a user switches to a custom kernel, graphics modules will automatically recompile during the pacman transaction, preventing broken graphical environments on reboot.

    Performance & Stability

    • Out-of-Memory Protection: Enabled systemd-oomd by default. Instead of the entire desktop freezing when RAM capacity is reached, the system will surgically terminate the specific application or browser tab causing the memory leak, keeping the desktop perfectly responsive.
    • BTRFS Self-Healing: For users selecting BTRFS, a monthly systemd timer (btrfs-scrub@-.timer) is now automatically enabled. This silently checks the root filesystem for bit-rot and repairs any silent data corruption in the background.

    Storage & Quality of Life

    • Automated Cache Cleaning: Implemented a global Pacman hook utilizing paccache. Upon every package installation, upgrade, or removal, the system automatically purges old cached packages, keeping only the two most recent versions. This permanently prevents the root partition from filling up with obsolete package files over time.
    • Out-of-the-Box Multimedia: ZypherOS now ships with a complete suite of GStreamer plugins (gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-bad, gst-plugins-ugly, and gst-libav). Users can seamlessly stream proprietary HTML5 web video without needing to hunt down missing codecs.
