After a long wait, fans of the lightweight and highly customizable Arch Linux operating system can finally install the latest Linux 4.13 kernel series on their installations, directly from the stable software repositories.
The latest kernel version available for installation from the Arch Linux repos is Linux 4.13.4, while the recently released Linux 4.13.5 kernel is already in the “Testing” repository. The good news is that with every new Linux kernel release, chances are your unsupported hardware will now be supported in Arch Linux.
Each month, the Arch Linux devs release an up-to-date ISO snapshot, or installation image, designed to let newcomers install the operating system on their personal computers, but also aimed at those who want to reinstall Arch Linux without having to download hundreds of updates from the repositories.
