The AchieVer Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 First Arch Linux ISO Snapshot Powered by Linux Kernel 5.0 Is Here The Arch Linux ISO snapshot for April 2019 is now available for download and it's the first to be powered by the recently released Linux 5.0 kernel series. Arch Linux 2019.04.01 is the first ISO image of the widely used Linux-based operating system, which follows a rolling release model where you install once and receive updates forever, to ship with a kernel (version 5.0.5) from the latest Linux 5.0 series, along with the latest updates released in March 2019. Linux kernel 5.0 brings several hardware enhancements over the Linux 4.x series, including FreeSync support for AMD Radeon GPUs via the open-source AMDGPU graphics driver, which enables a stutter-free viewing experience on LCDs with dynamic refresh rates, and a new energy-aware scheduling feature that improves power management in devices using ARM big.LITTLE CPUs. Furthermore, the Linux 5.0 kernel series adds support for swap files in the Btrfs file system, support for the Adiantum file system encryption for low power devices in fscrypt, support for the GRO (Generic Receive Offload) feature in the UDP implementation, and support for the binderfs file system to enable running of multiple Android instances.Available now only for new deploymentsThe Arch Linux 2019.04.01 ISO snapshot is available for downloadright now from the official websiteor via our free software portal. Like all Arch Linux snapshots, this one is intended only for new deployments of the operating system as existing Arch Linux users won't have to download a new ISO to keep their installations up-to-date. If you're running Arch Linux on your personal computer, you can get the latest updates and the Linux 5.0 kernel by running the "sudo pacman -Syu" command in a terminal emulator or by using a graphical package manager of your choice. Please keep in mind that you'll have to reboot your computer after installing the new Linux kernel version. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
