You must abandon i386 and switch to amd64. DO it now.

pacman -S linux

Use a computer made in the last 10 years

My router still on 2.6
should I worry

oh boy

this,

or jump ship to gentoo

Yes, see if you can install libreCMC, *WRT, or Tomato.

to safely upgrade kernels on arch, you first need to fix how arch does upgrades:

I'm using tomato!

what's the command for updating kernel on gentoo?
can't you run a simply command line and update the kernel?

root@unknown:/tmp/home/root# update the kernel
-sh: update: not found

no luck dude am I probably being hacked

Has tomato even been actively developed in years?

if you can't read the wikki and figure it out then upgrading a kernel probably isn't for you. just reinstall with a newer kernel. you've got /home on a separate partition right

pacman -Syu && pacman -S linux

...

how to specifically upgrade to LTS kernel?

>not just pacman -Sy linux

lol at arch niggers that can't even use package manager

pacman -Syu && -S linux-lts

thank you based arch user

Isn't the kernel normally updated with the whole system after Pacman -Syu? Used to work like that when I used Arch.

You still have to reboot.

A major downside of this would be that /boot fills up each update and you have one more thing to worry about.
Also, there's the linux-lts package, which you can use as a recovery option in case the new kernel fails to even boot.
