The latest release of the Liquorix Linux Kernel, version 6.15-6, has been introduced by Steven Barrett. This kernel, derived from Linux kernel 6.15.6, is specifically designed for enthusiasts who require low-latency performance for tasks such as audiovisual production, gaming, and interactive applications. The Liquorix kernel is compatible with popular distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux.
- Block Layer Improvements: The default scheduler has been switched from `mq-deadline` to `bfq` for better performance.
- Virtual Memory Enhancements: Features such as background-reclaim for hugepages and modifications to cache settings improve memory management.
- PDS/BMQ CPU Scheduler: Designed to provide fair scheduling for processes related to gaming and multimedia.
- High Resolution Scheduling: A 1000 Hz tick rate allows for precise scheduling of tasks, minimizing jitter.
- Hard Kernel Preemption: This feature ensures high responsiveness during intense workloads by allowing aggressive preemption.
- Budget Fair Queue: An optimized disk scheduler that balances high throughput with low latency for desktop usage.
- TCP BBR2 Congestion Control: A modern congestion control algorithm that enhances network throughput.
- Compressed Swap: Utilizes LZ4 compression for swap storage, improving efficiency.
- Binary Builds: Available for various Debian versions and Ubuntu via the Liquorix PPA, ensuring users can quickly access the latest builds.
- Distribution Kernel Drop-in Replacement: Offers broad hardware compatibility and reduced overhead in virtualized environments.
- Updated the version number to 6.15.6-1.
