The operating Arch Linux released today new ISO for new installs. Arch Linux is a well-known distribution that follows a rolling release model.
For those unfamiliar with this model the user installs the operating system once and receives updates forever. The Arch Linux distribution, however, also releases monthly ISO images that contain all the package updates that were sent through its repositories throughout the previous month.
So the version Linux Linux 2021.08 is here, with the latest Linux kernel series 5.13.6 (the 5.13.7 point release kernel is already in repos and will be upgraded soon). The new version brings many new features and improvements, such as support for Microsoft's exFAT file system, the "lockdown" security feature and application memory management on Android.
In addition, Arch Linux 2021.08 release brings the updated packages and security updates released throughout the previous space, which makes the ISO essential for those looking to install Arch Linux on new computers.

- 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 with the implementation of the command sudo pacman -Syu you will have a fully updated system. For those who want to install or test the new version of Arch Linux, they can download the ISOs from the official website.
