Subject: I have the latest and greatest Linux Kernel 6.6.7 installed on my =
refurbished Aftershock gaming laptop after installing Arch Linux on 19 Dec =
2023 Tue

Good day from Singapore,

I have the latest and greatest Linux Kernel 6.6.7 installed on my refurbish=
ed Aftershock gaming laptop after installing Arch Linux on 19 Dec 2023 Tue =
in the evening.

Please refer to the following post at Arch Linux General Discussion mailing=
 list.

Post: [Part 1] These are the guides I have followed to install Arch Linux w=
ith Linux Kernel 6.6.7 and GNOME on my refurbished Aftershock gaming laptop
Link: https://lists.archlinux.org/hyperkitty/list/arch-general@lists.archli=
nux.org/thread/LQTBZYXA26ZTMDZ2IXG4NHNOMDUC6RL3/

You will be able to install the latest and greatest Linux Kernel 6.6.7 by f=
ollowing the guides mentioned in the above mailing list post. I chose Arch =
Linux because it is able to offer the latest Linux Kernel package in its re=
pository. No other Linux distro/distribution is able to offer the latest Li=
nux Kernel for installation immediately after it has been released.

Arch Linux can only be installed using the command line. There is no GUI in=
staller at all to make the installation speedy and efficient. Fortunately, =
I have good understanding of Linux basics and am quite familiar with the Li=
nux command line. I can say I have 18 years of experience with Linux beginn=
ing in the year 2005.

Installing Arch Linux using the command line without a GUI installer can be=
 very very TEDIOUS and very very TIME CONSUMING. But you will get a sense o=
f satisfaction after installing it successfully.

To recap, I have started installing Arch Linux on my refurbished Aftershock=
 gaming laptop on 19 Dec 2023 Tue at 9.24 PM at night. I have more or less =
completed installing Arch Linux on 20 Dec 2023 Wed at about 1.00 AM in the =
early morning.

In total, I have spent about 3 hours and 36 minutes installing Arch Linux w=
ith NetworkManager (able to connect to Ethernet and Wi-Fi), X.org X Server =
and GNOME Desktop Environment with Mozilla Firefox and VLC Video Player. I =
am able to play 4K Ultra HD videos inside Arch Linux. I will spend the next=
 few days or next few weeks (when I have time on my hands) to install Googl=
e Chrome web browser and configure the sudoers file in Arch Linux.

If there are bugs in Linux Kernel 6.6.7, I will report them to this mailing=
 list.

My used 2nd hand Aftershock gaming laptop model is MX-15 Elite (N850HK1).
