Kernel 5.19.14 on manjaro

[chicho1704]

Dear Community
I wanted to install Kernel 5.19.14 but it is not available on manjaro, but it’s available on kernel.org and is labelled as stable… manjaro repositories offer 5.19.13-1. will the stable kernel be available on manjaro soon? and if not, How can I download it from kernel.org?
Thank You Very Much

It’s available in Unstable branch.

Why unstable branch? It’s labelled as stable on kernel.org

Because that’s how the branches work.

Switching Branches

• Stable branch: The packages that come to stable have gone through roughly a couple of weeks testing by the users of the Unstable/Testing repos, before they get the packages. These packages are usually free of any problems.
• Testing branch: This is the second line of defense. Being a larger number of users than those using Unstable, they refine the work done prior to them by providing feedback on the packages they recieve on updates.
• Unstable branch: Unstable is synced several times a day with Arch package releases. Only a subset of Arch packages are modified to suit Manjaro. Those that use Unstable need to have the skills to get themselves out of trouble when they move their system to this branch. They are the Manjaro users who are most likely to need to use such skills. Due to the feedback from the users of the Unstable repo, many issues are caught and fixed at this level. Although the very latest software will be located here, using the unstable branch is usually safe but - in rare cases - may cause issues with your system!

Manjaro Features

Branches are separate software repositories containing different packaged software versions, they allow for software to be tested by the team and the community before reaching the end user. This happens in a constant cycle, meaning that you get a rolling release and never need to reinstall your operating system to acquire a new version, updates roll out to you automatically! The default branch is stable if you wish to change, have a look at Switching Branches.

Arch Linux

While some packages come from Arch Stable, others come directly from upstream or are patched to ensure stability.

Unstable

Unstable branch is more close to upstream and synced frequently, security packages get fastracked to stable when possible.

Testing

Testing branch is a middle ground were packages mature before going down to stable.

Stable

Packages reaching stable have already been tested for some time in the other branches. The package testing process does https://forum.manjaro.org/t/kernel-5-19-14-on-manjaro/123521/5not have a fixed time frame, it gets to stable when deemed ready.
