The Shelly package manager has been rewritten from C# to Zig in its v3 release, delivering faster startup and lower memory usage, along with new UI features like onboarding screens, list/grid views, AUR PKGBUILD previews, and a Utilities page. Cachy-Update now runs on Arch-Update v4.x with its systray applet ported to Rust, and a new combined flag simplifies enabling automated update checks. The graphical installer gains desktop environment updates including Hyprland's Noctalia greeter option and Cinnamon's new greeter. Handheld detection improvements and a DNS fix in the Welcome app round out the release. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Shelly v3 was rewritten from C# to Zig, replacing the managed runtime with native binaries. The change results in faster startup times and lower memory usage. The v3 release also adds an onboarding screen, list and grid views for package browsing, AUR PKGBUILD previews with build output, and a Utilities page for database syncing, cache cleanup, and orphaned package removal. _Arch-based Linux users tracking Shelly's evolution and package manager choices follow releases like this on daily.dev._ ### How do I update CachyOS without reinstalling after a new release? Existing CachyOS users do not need to reinstall to get a new release. Open Shelly from the app launcher, go to the Update page, and wait for the sync to complete or click Check Again to pull updates from official repositories, AUR, and Flatpak. Alternatively, running the single command 'shelly' in the terminal handles the same update process. _Linux users managing rolling release upgrades find distro-specific tips like these on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [To Make Things Easier, CachyOS Created a RUST-Based GUI Package Manager](https://daily.dev/posts/to-make-things-easier-cachyos-created-a-rust-based-gui-package-manager-zihmxo9c8) · It's Foss · 62 upvotes · 1 comments - [This app that makes Arch Linux easier to use just got its 'biggest release yet'](https://daily.dev/posts/this-app-that-makes-arch-linux-easier-to-use-just-got-its-biggest-release-yet--woukrr3wo) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CachyOS Introduces New Default GUI Package Manager, Kyber For NVMe I/O Scheduler](https://daily.dev/posts/cachyos-introduces-new-default-gui-package-manager-kyber-for-nvme-i-o-scheduler-421kdmqbn) · Phoronix · 20 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#zig](https://daily.dev/tags/zig) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/cachyos-is-laying-groundwork-for-the-server-edition-mukdlozcx) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"CachyOS is Laying Groundwork for The Server Edition","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/cachyos-is-laying-groundwork-for-the-server-edition-mukdlozcx","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/cachyos-is-laying-groundwork-for-the-server-edition-mukdlozcx"},"datePublished":"2026-08-10T15:35:25.024Z","dateModified":"2026-08-10T15:36:33.126Z","description":"CachyOS's latest release advances its upcoming Server Edition by adding experimental server installation profiles to the CLI installer.
