As of this morning, the famous Arch Linux operating system has received a major kernel upgrade, Linux 4.5, which users can now install via the official channels.

Dubbed "Blurry Fish Butt," Linux kernel 4.5 has been officially released exactly one month ago, on March 14, and it has been in the Testing repos of Arch Linux for quite some time now. Until today, Arch Linux was powered by Linux 4.4.5, which wasn't quite the latest version of the long-term supported kernel.

But the good news is that Linux kernel 4.5 is finally here, replacing the previous Linux kernel 4.4.5 LTS version for all existing users or the rolling operating system. Therefore, if you're using Arch Linux, we strongly recommend that you upgrade your installation right now by running the "sudo pacman -Syu" command in a terminal window.
