The latest release of the Liquorix Linux Kernel, version 6.14-13, has been made available by Steven Barrett. This kernel is derived from the Linux kernel version 6.14.10 and is designed specifically for enthusiasts who require high-performance computing, particularly in low-latency environments like audiovisual production and gaming. It optimizes responsiveness and minimizes frame time variations, making it suitable for interactive systems. The Liquorix kernel can be used on popular distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux.
Key Features of the Liquorix Kernel:
- Zen Interactive Tuning: Focuses on enhanced responsiveness, potentially sacrificing throughput and power efficiency.
- Improved Block Layer: Default scheduler changed from mq-deadline to bfq, and DM-Crypt workqueues have been disabled.
- Virtual Memory Enhancements: Adjustments to hugepages background-reclaiming, cache TTL settings, and proactive compaction strategies.
- PDS/BMQ CPU Scheduler: Tweaked timeslice for better performance in gaming and multimedia applications.
- Optimized CPUFreq Settings: Changes to the Ondemand governor parameters for improved CPU frequency management.
- PDS Process Scheduler: Ideal for handling gaming and multimedia workloads effectively.
- High-Resolution Scheduling: Ensures precise task scheduling with a 1000Hz tick rate.
- Enhanced Preemption: Ensures aggressive kernel preemption, fostering responsiveness during high-load scenarios.
- Budget Fair Queue: An efficient disk scheduler for desktop use that balances high throughput with low latency.
- TCP BBR2 Congestion Control: Offers improved data throughput compared to traditional Cubic algorithms.
- Compressed Swap: Implements LZ4 compression for swap storage via zswap.
- Multigenerational LRU: A more efficient page replacement algorithm under heavy memory loads.
- Binary Builds: Available for various Debian versions and Ubuntu through the Liquorix PPA shortly after Debian releases.
Installation Instructions:
For users interested in installing the Liquorix kernel on Debian, Ubuntu, or Arch, an installation script can be executed via the command line as follows:
What’s New in Version 6.14-13:
This update includes the configuration change to set `CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y` and an update to the kernel version number to 6.14.10-2.
In summary, the Liquorix kernel continues to evolve, catering to users who prioritize performance in multimedia and gaming scenarios. Its specialized features and configurations make it a compelling option for those looking to enhance their Linux experience.
