This adds support to automatically switch the locale for the complete Session, instead of only the calamares window.

It relays on kxkb2locale1, whcich is also used at Fedora for Anaconda to handle the Keyboard Switching. Tested in VM

Pull request overview

Adds live-session keyboard/locale switching support for the full Plasma session by pulling in kxkb2locale1 and enabling KWin’s locale-following behavior for Wayland in the live user skeleton.

Changes:

  • Added kxkb2locale1 to the desktop ISO package set.
  • Added a pacman hook to write the KWin Wayland setting to follow locale for live users (/etc/skel).
  • Added Plasma Welcome live-environment flag in the default skeleton config.
  • Updated CHANGELOG.md (currently includes unrelated/duplicated entries).

CHANGELOG.md:57

  • The 26.04 section has duplicate/overlapping entries: after the curated "Fixes" list (lines 33–49), there’s another "chwd" and "cachyos-settings" fixes block (lines 51–57) that repeats the same items with different wording/casing. This makes the changelog inconsistent; remove the duplicated block or merge its unique items into the main Fixes lists.
* **chwd:**
  * Kernel search is now more accurate in nvidia profiles
  * Remove forcing Xorg session in 470xx profiles
  * Match handheld product names now better
* **cachyos-settings:**
  * Dropped S01x power management due issues with 595 nvidia driver
  * Disabled AggresiveVblank due VR issues with the NVIDIA Driver
