Liquorix maintainer Steven Barrett has released version 7.2-15, which tracks upstream Linux 7.2.9 and reverts a recent scheduler patch added just five days earlier. This rapid add-and-revert process demonstrates Liquorix's role as a testing ground for scheduler experiments that may influence the upstream Linux kernel. The updated kernel is tailored for desktop use, gaming, and audio/video work, prioritizing responsiveness over efficiency with various tuning adjustments like a reduced scheduling timeslice and high-resolution scheduling. Liquorix is available as a free, AMD64-only build that can be easily installed via a simple script or a distribution's package system
