How can I update my kernel to the unstable version?

How can I update my kernel to the unstable version? Can I just install using the unstable iso from today with usb?

As far as your query, to update to the latest 6.1.8-2 kernel package, you would need to either switch to the unstable branch or wait for it to trickle down to the stable branch. See also Manjaro Features

if you have manjaro up & running, you don’t need to grab stuff form the iso.
you can just run this in a terminal:

sudo -s                       # become root
pacman-mirrors -B testing -a  # change mirrors to unstable
pacman -Syy                   # force-update the repos
mhwd-kernel -i linux61        # install latest kernel for 6.1 series, which is 6.1.8

of course, you can run pacman -Syyu and update the whole system, but if you just want to install the kernel you should better do it with mhwd-kernel.

I was running without internet so that wasn’t an option, downloading the most recent ISO from the link I provided and putting that on a live-usb worked just fine :wink:
