Operating Arch Linux is one of the first GNU / Linux distributions to release new ISOs in 2020 using the latest Linux kernel. 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 also releases monthly ISO images that contain all package updates pushed through its repositories throughout the previous month.
So Arch Linux 2020.01.01 is here and it's the first ISO release for 2020, with the latest Linux kernel 5.4 series. THE new edition brings many new features and improvements, such as support for Microsoft's exFAT file system, the "lockdown" security feature, and the management application memory in Android.
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.65.0
Qt Version: 5.14.0
Kernel Version: 5.4.8.arch1-1
Additionally, Arch Linux 2020.01.01 release brings the updated packages and security updates released throughout December 2019, making the ISO a must-have for anyone looking to install Arch Linux on new computers.
- Easy (?) Installation of Linux
- Desktop Linux Desktop Environment Installation
- What Linux do I do after installation?
Once again, we would like to emphasize that Arch Linux 2020.01.01 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.
