Arch Linux 2023.01.01 ISO image release: using Linux kernel 6.1
CTOnews.com, January 2, Arch Linux is the first GNU / Linux release to kick off in 2023, and its new ISO version is aimed at users who want to deploy Arch Linux on new computers, do chroot repairs on existing computers, or just reinstall their systems.
Arch Linux 2023.01.01 is not only the first ISO version of Arch Linux in 2023, but also the first ISO version of Arch Linux with Linux 6.1 kernel series. This means that when users start a new Arch Linux ISO on some computers, they will get better hardware support.
Linux kernel 6.1.1 is used by default in the new Arch Linux ISO version because the latest Linux 6.1.2 kernel version is still in the test repository (updated after installation). The Linux kernel 6.1 arrived at the Arch Linux repository on December 22, 2022 for existing users.
Arch Linux installer archinstall is still 2.5.2 on the new ISO version (the latest version at the time of writing), bringing fixes to fast block devices such as NVMe drives, as well as / etc / locale.gen and en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 areas where the relevant Bug,Archiso is displayed as an optional drive Bug, and some spelling errors.
If you plan to deploy Arch Linux on a new computer or reinstall an existing system, you can download Arch Linux 2023.01.01 from the official website.
CTOnews.com learned that existing Arch Linux users do not have to download a new version of ISO and can keep their installation up-to-date by running the sudo pacman-Syu command in their favorite terminal emulator application. Arch Linux uses a rolling release mode, which means that you can receive updates for a long time after a single installation.
