Liquorix Linux Kernel 6.14-3 Released
Steven Barrett has unveiled the latest version of the Liquorix kernel, now based on Linux kernel 6.14.2. The Liquorix kernel is tailored for enthusiasts who seek optimized performance in low-latency environments, making it particularly suited for audiovisual production, gaming, and interactive systems. It is compatible with Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux.
Overview of Liquorix Kernel
Liquorix serves as a replacement kernel designed specifically for desktops, multimedia applications, and gaming workloads. It employs carefully selected configurations and kernel sources to enhance user experience.
Key Features of Liquorix Kernel 6.14-3
- Zen Interactive Tuning: Adjusts the kernel for improved responsiveness, sacrificing some throughput and power efficiency.
- Block Layer Modifications:
- Default scheduler changed from `mq-deadline` to `bfq`.
- DM-Crypt workqueues have been turned off.
- Virtual Memory Changes:
- Background reclamation for hugepages is enabled.
- Minimum cache Time-To-Live (TTL) for MG-LRU has increased.
- Proactive compaction settings have been adjusted.
- CPU Scheduler Adjustments:
- The PDS/BMQ CPU scheduler has a reduced scheduling timeslice for better performance.
- CPU Frequency Settings: Modifications to the `ondemand` governor settings to enhance responsiveness.
- Additional Features:
- PDS Process Scheduler for fair scheduling in gaming and multimedia.
- High-resolution scheduling for low-jitter task management.
- Enhanced preemption mechanisms for responsive systems under heavy loads.
- Budget Fair Queue disk scheduler optimized for low latency.
- TCP BBR2 for improved congestion control.
- Compressed swap storage to optimize memory usage.
- Multigenerational LRU for better performance under memory pressure.
- Immediate availability of binary builds for popular Debian distributions and Ubuntu.
Installation Instructions
For users of Debian, Ubuntu, or Arch Linux, the kernel can be easily installed using the following command:
What's New in Version 6.14-3
The latest release includes a merge with version 6.14.2 and an updated version label of 6.14.2-1.
For more information and to download the source code, users can visit the Liquorix homepage or access the GitHub repository.
Future Directions
