The first Arch Linux snapshot powered by the latest Linux 5.7 kernel series is now available for download, also packed with all of June 2020’s updates and security fixes.

Arch Linux 2020.07.01 has been released today as July 2020’s ISO snapshot, and it’s the first to ship with the latest Linux 5.7 kernel series. While not the latest, Linux 5.7.6 is included in the Arch Linux 2020.07.01 image as the default kernel.
