WHY THE FUCK DON'T WE HAVE KERNEL V4.8 YET OR EVEN 4.7

>>56004056
yes

is this the new update for AOL?

>>56004056
Because 4.7 is not stable, go enable your unstable repo idiot

>>56004116
>Arch
>Stable
>More than one repo
what did he mean by this

>>56004116
4.7 is the latest stable kernel fucc boi

>Archfags are again beaten by Gentoo, which has had 4.7.0 for a week or more
cucked

>>56004158
Are you implying you can't compile 4.7.0 kernel yourself on Arch?

>>56004149
>Latest stable
Not fully tested against other Arch packages
>>56004146
What?
>>56004158
If I want to compile the kernel
$packer -S linux-mainline

>>56004056
go eat your tendies

>>56004170
I'm explicitly saying that 4.7.0 isn't in Arch package repository yet, and it is on Gentoo. 4.7.0 isn't in ABS yet either.

>>56004184
so first you say it's not stable, now it's "not fully tested against other packages" Wew make up your mind lad :)

>>56004184
That's the git. Gentoo has that too as git-sources. Arch still doesn't have the actual released 4.7.0 in its repos as a version of the kernel while Gentoo does.

>>56004190
How does that prevent you from compiling the unstable kernel you want?
>>56004202
Those mean the same thing retard

>>56004184
There is no point to Arch, but the thing Arch users often pretend is the point is the bleeding edge aspect. If you think Arch is stable, you're retarded. The Arch developers are literal children who will put absolutely anything into the repositories. The OP was wondering why.

>>56004227
>Those mean the same thing retard
No. You just wrong.

>>56004239
>If you think Arch is stable, you're retarded.
> The Arch developers are literal children who will put absolutely anything into the repositories
You have a lot of hot opinions, don't you
>>56004246
So you are saying un-tested packages are stable?

>>56004227
linux-mainline is 4.8.0-rc1 right now. It isn't even released because it isn't even finished, (and it's barely started because 4.7.0 just was released). That's literally just a snapshot of a git repository.

There is a released Linux 4.7.0, and Arch does not have it. If you can't understand what I'm saying, you're genuinely retarded.

>>56004268
No I'm saying stable packages are stable.

BMI of 39 please go back eating your hotpockets you obnoxious landwhale.

Linux 4.7.0 is stable enough that the kernel developers released it. The fact that Arch doesn't have it yet is a failure on the part of the muh hemorrhaging edge Arch developers. As that one guy said, you can compile the Git source, but that is crazily unstable because it isn't even a completed version yet. If you want to test a newly released kernel, you apparently can't get it from Arch without manually downloading the source and compiling it.

>>56004282
>Un-tested
>Stable
wow

>>56004344
Linus says it is stable which is good enough for me :D

>>56004333
I tried to update to 4.7 manually, and it said it had some conflicting packages, specifically muh nvidia driver. I'll just wait until it hits stable in one month from the release date so I don't break anything.

>>56004359
Linus is a faggot.

We have 4.8, what are you talking about?

>>56004393

Why tho

>>56004430
Why not?

>>56004422
Why shouldn't I?

>>56004430
Comfy AUR

>>56004423
Not in stable repo

>>56004451
not an argument

>>56004461
I wasn't aware we were having an argument

>>56004446
What does the AUR do? It contains some scripts that are largely unmaintained that download and install things from the internet?

>>56004451
You are looking for 4.8, you got it. Not my fault you are looking for an unstable kernel

>>56004474
I wasn't aware you were being pedantic

>>56004480
It compiled HPN-SSH for me with NO pain in the butt

>>56004481
You said you have 4.8 meaning you're using the unstable repo no?

>>56004407
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>56004503
4.8 is not stable, so yes

>>56004490
You seem to not be aware of a lot of things...

>>56004511
And? Are you going to cry now?

>>56004516
what kernel are you on?

>>56004532
4.6, eagerly awaiting 4.7

>>56004527
what

>>56004541
What are you waiting on?

And then there's Debian.....

>>56004543
Exactly, what triggers your little penis knowing that I use Arch?

>>56004554
The latest in greatest. Nothing in particular

>>56004556
I was just wondering if you had a reason for using an epic meme of a desktop distro on a server, when Arch is one of the distros least suited to servers. You evidently don't, other than that it installed a program nobody uses rather quickly, when any distro could have done it just as easily.

>>56004601
Why shouldn't I use Arch for my server? Are you going to sue me?

>>56004577
"4.7 adds support for the recent Radeon RX 480 GPUs, support for parallel pathname lookups in the same directory, a new experimental 'schedutils' frequency governor that should be faster and more accurate than existing governors, support for the EFI 'Capsule' mechanism for upgrading firmware, support for virtual USB Devices in USB/IP to make emulated phones behave as real USB devices, a new security module 'LoadPin' that ensures that all kernel modules are loaded from the same filesystem, an interface to create histograms of events in the ftrace interface, support for attaching BPF programs to kernel tracepoints, support for callchains of events in the perf trace utility, stable support for the Android's sync_file fencing mechanism, and many other improvements and new drivers. "

Any of this titillate you?

>>56004624
4.8 has all of that lmao

>>56004624
Nope, but im interested in the little bug fixed etc. etc.

Daily reminder that Arch and Ubuntu are the most popular /g/ distros

>>56005120
And rightfully so.

Because you use an OS with a decentralised development model. Come to BSD-town, you baka fuckin' gaijin.

4.6.4 is the kernel is the base repo
they are kinda slow, but 4.7 was a big update so I'm not too worried

>>56006868
They'd be using an AMD card with the open source drivers then.

The nvidia drivers don't work well, and don't integrate well with the native Linux graphics stack. They suck compared to open-source AMD drivers with the exception of raw 3D performance.

>>56004056
That's what you get for using a meme distro.
