Arch Linux 2021.01.01 is now available for those who want to install the powerful, rolling-release distribution on their personal computers, and it’s the first Arch Linux ISO powered by the latest and greatest Linux 5.10 LTS kernel series, which is an LTS (Long-Term Support) branch that brings numerous new features and enhanced hardware support. These include support for the ARMv8.5 memory tagging extension, support for Amazon Nitro enclaves, support for the SM2 digital-signature algorithm, memory hints for other processes, AMD SEV-ES support for encryption of the guest register state in virtualized guests, virtio-fs performance improvements, and support for RISC-V architecture to boot on EFI systems.
