Hey all! I recently installed CachyOS which comes with linux-cachyos-bore as the default kernel, and I have to say that it does feel a lot snappier to just use and click around, even though I have almost the exact same Plasma setup as my previous Arch install. So now I’m wondering how many great patches and forks I’m missing out on :D

What’s your experience with using kernels other than linux, linux-lts, and linux-zen? Now that I’m free of Nvidia bullshit I’m more inclined to test out different things, does anyone have some resources like comparisons of the various alternatives out there?

    I use linux-tkg with the BORE scheduler on my system. Same kernel, but with CFS before. It is faster in scenarios where it’s designed to be faster, but overall it won’t blow your socks off, as if it’s some kind of magic
