Installing a Kernel from a Repository
---------------------------------------

:::warning[Important: Reboot After System Update]

Before using Kernel Manager to switch or install kernels, make sure to reboot your system if you recently performed a system update.

**Why?**
- Running kernel might be different from the installed one after update
- Switching kernels without rebooting can cause `mkinitramfs` failures
- System might become unbootable

**Recommended workflow:**
1. System update
2. Reboot when prompted
3. Then use Kernel Manager to switch/install kernels

**Tip:** Enable system snapshots (like Snapper) for quick recovery if something goes wrong.

:::

The CachyOS Kernel Manager makes it simple to install and manage kernels from any Arch Linux repository.

To install a kernel. Launch the `CachyOS Kernel Manager` application and choose the desired kernel by ticking the box `[]` from the list of all the available options, then just press `Execute` to start the kernel installation.
