The Liquorix Linux Kernel 6.16-2 has been released, building upon the latest Linux Kernel version 6.16.3. This custom kernel is specifically optimized for desktop, multimedia, and gaming environments, offering significant enhancements over standard kernel configurations. Key features of this release include Zen Interactive Tuning for improved system responsiveness, Budget Fair Queue for efficient disk scheduling, Hard Kernel Preemption for aggressive task prioritization, and TCP BBR2 Congestion Control for enhanced network performance.
The Liquorix kernel is easily installable on Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux systems via a straightforward install script or through binary builds available on the project's GitHub repository.
- Budget Fair Queue: A disk scheduler that favors low latency and high throughput, ideal for desktop usage.
- Hard Kernel Preemption: Facilitates quick task switching, ensuring system responsiveness under demanding workloads.
- TCP BBR2: A congestion control algorithm that enhances network throughput compared to the traditional Cubic.
- Compressed Swap: Implements LZ4-compressed swap storage to improve memory management.
- Multigenerational LRU: An advanced LRU algorithm for better performance during high memory pressure.
The installation process is simplified for users of Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux through a single command:
- Updated versioning to 6.16.3-1.
