Description

### Kernel

7.0.2-1-cachyos

### Desktop Environment / Window Manager

KDE Plasma

### CPU

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

### GPU / Driver

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

### Description

I installed CachyOS today (for the first time) using the April live ISO released today: https://cachyos.org/blog/2604-april-release/

CachyOS Hello, both in the live session and in the installed CachyOS, thinks it's the March release:

I believe the installer ISO was misconfigured in some way.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a bootable USB drive from the April 2026 release of CachyOS (SHA256: 9a280d1e9732cfe50ab02db6a7e44ae0d9e6a10e6ea394f73192f7c14e263118 cachyos-desktop-linux-260426.iso)
2. Boot into the live session, CachyOS Hello opens automatically
3. Click on Release info:

(screenshot is from an installed CachyOS, button layout is similar in the live session)

### Expected Behavior

It should say "CachyOS April 2026 Release" with an appropriate release date.

### Actual Behavior

It says "CachyOS March 2026 Release" with a March 08 release date.

### Logs / Error Messages

(skipped)

### Additional Context

I am 99.999% sure that I used the right ISO. Putting the drive into the PC, it's named "COS_202604", so I don't think I accidentally wrote the March image.
