Hi.
I don’t know much about kernels. I use scx_lavd. I enjoy gaming and programming for frontend web development, and I plan to work on backend in the future. I also use virtual machines.
scx_lavd is a scheduler, not a kernel. Honestly, the best kernel to pick from for gaming is just linux-cachyos-lto. You get a little more speed than the vanilla kernel. Not really that big of a change tho, as various system tweaks will have a much more profound effect on your gaming.
Long story, short: Cachyos is already highly optimized. By being here and using it, you’re already using about the best kernel for gaming.
Just pick the default linux-cachyos kernel it already built with lto as default
Then what is linux-cachyos-lto then? It does get slightly better FPS in my benches, but not more than like 1%, barely measurable.
Not sure about the differences but Peter said the default kernel is now built with ThinLTO. There is also rhe -gcc version.
I guess rhey will be streamlining the kernels a bit
The default kernel is built with LTO now and linux-cachyos-lto
is now obsolete.
To confuse us of course. It’s Linux
Is this the case for all the other lto kernels, such as linux-cachyos-rc-lto?
It’s only for the default and rc kernel.
