minus-squaresodium_nitride [she/her, any]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·20 days agoIs arch affected? (Please god let there be a benefit to using arch I need to justify my time sinking)
minus-squareAzzu@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·edit-219 days agoIt is affected. If you have the 7.0.4 kernel from yesterday though, you’re fine, though the linux arch package is still on 7.0.3. linux-cachyos for example is on 7.0.4.
minus-squaresodium_nitride [she/her, any]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-219 days agoSo I guess I have to upgrade the kernel to 7.0.4? Is that possible?
minus-squareAzzu@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·19 days agoJust wait until later today or tomorrow and the update will likely be in the core repository, then you can just do a normal update.
