Arch Linux releases November 2026 rolling-release snapshot

Arch Linux has released its 2026.11.01 rolling-release snapshot, featuring the Linux 7.2.11 kernel. The x86-64 ISO is approximately 1.2 GB and is intended primarily for new installations, as existing users can update via the pacman command.

The release includes critical security patches, such as fixes for PHP remote code execution and the removal of compromised CA certificates. It also utilizes the Archinstall 4.5 guided installer, which recently added support for RT kernel variants and AArch64 for GRUB and Limine EFI.
