how to update kernel with GUi ? like manjaro os has this option

[inffy]

Use terminal and just sudo pacman -Syu linux

[BlackHole]

any gui option?

[inffy]

you can install a gui frontend for pacman. Like pamac but it also might break at some point. Or use Gnome-software (gnome) or Discover (KDE)

Is there a specific need that it needs to be GUI ?

You should never use either of these to install or update software from the repos on an Arch-based distro.

They are both based on packagekit which supports no manual intervention. You can very easily end up with a broken system.

If you want a graphical package manager, use bauh, octopi or pamac

As above, there is. It is called akm and you can install it.

Take a look at this:

Some Manjaro user questions about EndeavourOS

Welcome to the forum! I would start by saying that, technically speaking, Manjaro and EOS are more similar than they are different. That being said, there are some key differences. Manjaro bundles updates into releases, EOS lets updates flow in as packages are updated upstream Manjaro has channels(stable, testing, unstable). EOS does not. The Arch testing repo is available but that is not really the same thing as Manjaro channels. Manjaro maintains many different kernel versions. EOS gene…

This is it for anyone looking for a GUI updater.

@BlackHole

can you tell me how to download EOS?

From the downloads page on the website.

@BlackHole

Yes. EOS is up to date. Manjaro is usually 1-4 weeks behind and uses a lot of their own packages. More in depth than that, check the thread Dalto posted.

You can download the latest ISO now. The kernel automatically updates. This is a rolling release distro that is always updating. You can use the terminal to update or the welcome app has an update button on it. There is also a package you can install from welcome called akm to install & manage additional kernels such as lts and zen.
