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.
