What do you even have to do to notice what the kernel is doing?

Ooh

everything can be added as you desire

that’s.. kind of the point of using a standalone wm

which makes for much more lightweight setups, true

I stopped using a wm entirely cuz it’s too much work to setup something I can easily achieve on a de xD

and cuz I don’t use my lower end machines as much nowadays

Hehe

Which is using rn

chaita , tomorrow we can update maybe then the stuff works

I’m fine with GNOME and Windows 11 on my main laptop, and stuff like MATE, Cinnamon, or LXQT for my low power machines

works well enough

not trying to squeeze every drop of performance out of any of my machines

if anything, I’m handicapping them lmao

if you’re using Arch, I’d definitely recommend you try the linux-zen kernel tho

what happened to distrotest.net, is there an alternative?

I noticed it the most on my old i5-3427U laptop, and on my mum’s i5-4310U

can’t say anything on battery, for those on a laptop, but performance and heat wise it was drastic

dunno how well it’ll be on a 2010 desktop chip

Ook

I ran linux-zen on a 2008 desktop AMD chip

and it was good, honestly

had no issues when it came to performance

But amd and intel differs

yeah, but

I’ve had good results with both Intel and AMD

with an AMD X2 5400B from 2008

and with 2 i5 chips from 2013 and 2014

what do you even have to do to notice what the kernel is doing? coz I seriously don’t even notice it………………

haven’t tried on my main laptop yet, I’ve just ran mainline cuz I was in Fedora

wdym?

not sure how much better performance would be on a modern Ryzen 7 anyway

modern-ish

Well same

I’ve only given preference to kernel in my android only yet

zen is optimised for desktop use, it’s tuned for desktop, rather than server use cases

and is tuned for less latency, and higher throughput

Ummm
