      I have see that's into alternative kernel here:

      I don't remember what kernel.

      Yes, but harder than test the same program on arm, x86, mips, ...

      And gcc 2 don't support too... Who will compil the last linux kernel with gcc < 4.4?

        Somebody must be really insane to pay for a custom kernel config. The app on github looks like a system optimizer - if i would know something that would enhance speed I would have it by default. Well lots of ppl pay for Windows optimizations, so why not for Linux. It's is just like RAM optimizers, they do nothing useful just let the user "feel" better. If you feel better after paying, everybody is happy.

          Documentation/Changes

          "Current Minimal Requirements
          [..]
          o Gnu C 3.2 # gcc --version
          "

          It's kernel developers choice - not mine.

          Anyway, the whole discussion about optimizations reminds me

            An polish web site did some test of this kernel http://www.dobreprogramy.pl/Cala-pra...ews,59826.html and I know this guy, all changes with he makes in the source code are public if he made some things, but mostly his changes are config changes and setting compiler flags with you don't need to made public according to GPL. But it still is some immoral, I am sure if you apply march=native patch for kernel, adjust config and some sys and proc entries you will get 99% the same result as him.

                Do You know any alternative for AMD-based PC's?
                That's why.

                  Or they will say they'll talk to "the compiler guys", then never reply again. Just like they did with this patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/12/20/18 - Does anyone (Bridgman) know why it was never mainlined? I'm using it since years...

                    I'm polish and I visit dobreprogramy.pl pretty often.

                    Those guys who make this kernel are well known among community for spamming forums and comment section with shameless advertisments. In general all of this is kinda suspicious and I honestly would avoid prebuild kernels from unknown source which said group is.

                    I'd say that until some main kernel developer or even Linus himself comment on this - avoid this shit.

                      I'll just quote
