Liquorix 3.8 Kernel Has Some Performance Wins Over Linux

[Zan Lynx]

What About Latency?

What about measuring things that matter for a desktop and gaming machine such as worst frame performance and input-to-response latency, especially worst-case latency?

There's not much that is more annoying than typing in a text editor or word processor and having everything freeze solid for two seconds because a large disk job started running in the background.

[cfeck]

If it is supposed to be measuring desktop performance...

...then it should use benchmarks that measure latency. For example, try copying a 4 gigabyte file and start firefox at the same time, and measure how long it needs before firefox is fully usable.

If you use Kanotix you can even use kernel 3.9 with wheezy

[not.sure]

I have been using it recently due to bug in original Debian kernel, which was fixed in 3.8, but Debian is still on 3.2,

You could also use 3.8 from experimental.

The title was just easier/shorter writing over Liquorix 3.8 Kernel Has Some Performance Wins Over Vanilla/Mainline Linux Kernel.

Or more like "optimized"? : ) My reply wasn?t meant as offensive at any degree anyway, this project is very worth mentioning!

But Michael made misguiding title for purpose - Liquirix IS a Linux kernel, Debian-packaged, Zenwalk-inspired.

liquor... ix.
This is just crap compiled by a moron teenaged idiot underaged alcoholic. Completely not worthy of being reported on.

And impossible to take seriously, anything that has been... inappropriately renamed (since its not even a fork of Linux, it *IS* the linux kernel)... in tribute to alcohol -- WTF is wrong with him?

Whats wrong with offering DEB-packaged Desktop-optimized kernel for Debian Testing/Sid?
I have been using it recently due to bug in original Debian kernel, which was fixed in 3.8, but Debian is still on 3.2, and the ride is pure awesomeness.
For example, it can hibernate properly, unlike Debian.

Liquorix rocks!

so what were the differences in the kernel-config between stock Ubuntu kernel and Liquorix kernel config ?

configs here... http://liquorix.net/sources/3.8/

i never used liquorix, but if it shares code from zen-kernel (same author) then it also uses extra code/patches

the difference between 3.8.0 and 3.8.6 is much bigger than i expected.
