What Kernel are you running and why?

The never ending story.

Is linux-zen still the best kernel?

Is linux-zen still the best kernel to use? Or are we missing out on even better kernels? I want to suggest that we should have a thread pinned in the forum for discussing different kernels, where anyone can share their experiences and benchmarks about the different kernels they use. Like this one we had some time before: Kernel Benchmarking Results - Zen, cacULE, TKG, BORE I think if Garuda's developers can agree on a better kernel, we should occasionally change our default kernel based on w…

Discussing Linux kernels for Garuda Linux

The difference between all your benchmarks is ~1%. None of it is significant. This is my experience with almost every kernel I have ever tried. On my hardware there isn’t a material performance difference in general use. In the end benchmarks are only useful if they match your workloads nearly identically. Benchmarks also don’t measure things like responsiveness.
