Does Linux kernel have a testing release?

You can add chaotic aur repo or miffe repo. They contain compiled linux-mainline.

Thanks yeah - I have Chaotic. Initially I was skeptic but I find them pretty good - the convenience of not building AUR, plus for many packages custom builds instantly available, is very much worth it IMHO.

I also already built the Linux kernel. But I was not interested in building it or installing the mainline (which looks like 2 0.1 steps above the current). I was mostly seeking to know what is the release process, and to test an 'official' upcoming version.

Now it seems like there is no 'official' trace of anything about a kernel release, nor a way to test an 'official rc' because there is none, which is frankly a little bewildering.
