-If you use Arch Linux, then additionally do:
-
-```bash
-sudo mkinitcpio -k "$(make kernelrelease)" -g /boot/initrd.img-$(make kernelrelease) || true
-```
-
-If you are updating Linux on your external USB SSD or if you are directly booting into M.2 SSD, i.e. if you use `-m2` in `cmdline.txt`, then you have to update the files on the FAT32 partition of your USB drive:
-
-```bash
-sudo cp /boot/vmlinuz /boot/efi/bzImage
-sudo cp /boot/initrd.img /boot/efi/initrd.img
-```
-
-If you are updating Linux on your M.2 SSD, but you do not directly boot into it, i.e. if you use `m2_exec.sh`, then you do need to do this step.
