Chopped out of Linux 6.4 were the u132-hcd and ftdi-elan to in turn lighten the kernel by a few thousand lines of code.

Chrome/Chromium 113 is a biggie for those of us wanting video acceleration--there has been a lot of progress in that direction lately. Anyway, it's a new month, a new Archlinux ISO, and an almost completely re-written Archinstall routine, which I'll be testing shortly. 
Gawd, but I love Arch.

Great tool to upscale old/smaller photos...

The "everything you need to know" author forgot to mention Arch's own installer Archinstall. It's on every ISO now. It's easy-peasy, only asks the user maybe a dozen questions, and been around nearly a year now.
Besides the base system, it also offers every desktop environment in Arch's stable repositories. I've been testing it since its incursion. And it just keeps getting better.

You missed the bit beneath the above…

Arch Linux is a distribution known for always giving users only cutting-edge software as soon as it becomes available. This is thanks to the rolling release model followed by the distribution. However, one of the significant exceptions to this rule is the GNOME desktop environment.
In short, despite the release of official x.0 versions of GNOME, such as 43.0, 44.0, etc., Arch is waiting for the first stable GNOME x.1 release, for example, 43.1, 44.1, etc., before including it in the distribution repositories. More about this topic can be found here.
This year’s GNOME 44, initially released version 44.0 a month and a half ago on March 22, is no exception to this rule. On April 16, its first stable update, GNOME 44.1, saw the light of day, and today, it made its way into Arch’s stable repositories.
So, for Arch users, the wait is finally over. They can now update their GNOME 43.4 desktop environment straight to 44.1, available as an update in the stable Arch repo.
