+## 2.11.1 - 2026-10-02
+
+- `d70aeb8` **docs: new README screenshots of the app (2.11 menu) on a Steam Machine and on an NVIDIA PC, and the README names the opt-in "Start Steam silently in desktop mode" and the icons as an option of the conversion**
 ## 2.11.0 - 2026-10-01
 
-- `5da1833` **feat: "Start Steam silently" sub-option: under the SteamOS conversion (`silent`, on by default, as before) and under Gaming on NVIDIA (`nvsilent`, opt-in, not together with Big Picture); on a Steam Machine only when it boots into the desktop**
+- `2e51d1d`, `3494924`, `fbdad5a`, `079e725`, `188799e` **feat: "Start Steam silently" sub-option: under the SteamOS conversion (`silent`, opt-in now: it was always on before; an existing one is moved from its systemd unit to the autostart entry by the "update") and under Gaming on NVIDIA (`nvsilent`, opt-in, not together with Big Picture); the SteamOS one is called "Start Steam silently in desktop mode" and is always shown, also on a Steam Machine; it is Steam's own autostart entry (`~/.config/autostart/steam.desktop`), so Steam's setting "Run Steam when my computer starts" follows it**
+- `2f7b53f` **fix: the Steam Machine's serial number step no longer fails inside the ISO's installer (`/sys` is read-only in its chroot; the tmpfiles.d file applies at the next boot anyway), which made `machine` report an error and the install log end with `exit: 1`**
+- `45a23af`, `bd8f387` **feat: `STEAMIFY_NO_DOWNLOAD` (the ISO's `steamify.nodownload` kernel parameter): the installed system's first login runs the Steamify bundle of the ISO instead of downloading the newest release (to test an unreleased Steamify)**
+- `f3810a9` **fix: the SteamOS theme no longer leaves a blank Discover pin in the taskbar (Plasma's default taskbar pins Discover, which CachyOS doesn't install); the taskbar gets CachyOS's own pins (System Settings, files, browser), also on the ISO's first login**
+- `7869b47` **feat: "Steam Deck/Machine icons" (`glyphs`) is a sub-option of the SteamOS conversion, like "Start Steam silently in desktop mode": it only changes gaming mode**
+- `4d387b2` **chore: the Steamify unit tests (`controllers-test.sh`, `nvidia-test.sh`) and the NVIDIA hardware test live in steamify-cachyos-dev (`tests/`) now; `tests/` is removed here**
