The Arch Linux operating system today released a new ISO for new installations. Arch Linux is a well-known distribution that follows a rolling release model.
For those who do not know about this model user it installs the OS once and gets updates forever. However, the Arch Linux distribution is also released monthly pictures ISO containing all the package updates sent through its repositories throughout the previous month.
Thus the Arch Linux version 2021.08 is here, with the latest Linux kernel 5.13.6 (the 5.13.7 point release it's already in the repos and will be upgraded soon). THE new edition brings many new features and improvements, such as support for Microsoft's exFAT file system, the "lockdown" security feature, and app memory management on Android.
In addition, Arch Linux 2021.08 brings the latest packages and security updates that have been released in the past, which makes ISO a must-have for anyone wanting to install Arch Linux on new computers.

- Desktop Linux Desktop Environment Installation
- What Linux do I do after installation?
Once again, we would like to emphasize that Arch Linux 2021.08 is only here for new installations. All new Arch Linux ISOs are for those who want to install a new copy of Arch Linux on their PCs without having to download hundreds of updates from distribution repositories.
So if you are already using the distribution by running the sudo pacman -Syu command you will have a fully updated system. For those who want to install or try the new version of Arch Linux, they can download the ISO from the official website.
