I know from my own testing of Ubuntu's generic vs. low-latency kernels that both gaming & reaction times improved noticeably with the lowlatency option...

[Linuxxx]

I think it's important to note that the developer himself calls the currently proposed solution a »stop-gap« one; hopefully a proper fix for this problem...

[Linuxxx]

There are multiple things wrong with your self-proclaimed "premium" kernels:

- Your disabling security mitigations by default!...

[Linuxxx]

Thanks for explaining the difference between RADV & AMDVLK!

Maybe this is also the reason why I get substantially better performance...

[Linuxxx]

I'd be surprised if this even gets a reply from any of the kernel developers; the chances of it materializing any time soon are even slimmer...
...

[Linuxxx]

Actually, I'm serious with my assumption about nVidia following AMD's route in open-sourcing their kernel driver part & trying to mainline it upstream...

[Linuxxx]

NVIDIA-PRO driver incoming!

(Akin to AMDGPU-PRO, so open-source kernel driver getting upstreamed + closed-source user-space driver with all...

I know that schedutil isn't a replacement for CFS.
However, AFAIR, EAS (Energy-Aware Scheduling) is only possible with the schedutil governor, which...

[Linuxxx]

No, you're wrong.
Schedutil was precisely developed as the special governor with a focus on latency, in that is the only one that takes C-states...

[Linuxxx]

The real difference setting "rate_limit_us" to zero makes is in the way your system reacts to a sudden change in load, i.e. how 'snappy' your...

Then obviously AMD's Ryzen CPUs are bugged, since Intel CPUs don't exhibit the same behaviour - yes, even with the acpi_cpufreq performance governor!...

[Linuxxx]

The whole HDMI 2.1 situation is a real pity, and would unfortunately make nVidia's binary blob the superior solution for Linux HTPC users moving forward...

[Linuxxx]

aufkrawall
is correct - the performance governor, even the acpi_cpufreq one used by AMD systems, will not disable any power-saving features at...

[Linuxxx]

You're not even making a fair comparison & then complain about lower performance ... great stuff!

Here are the two reasons why Linux...
