Liquorix has released its latest kernel build, version 7.2-17, based on the upstream Linux Kernel 7.2.10, which is primarily a maintenance release with no new features beyond a version bump. This build incorporates a custom scheduler designed to enhance system responsiveness, making it particularly appealing for gamers and power users, although it may not be suitable for server environments. The main highlight from the previous version, 7.2-16, was the introduction of a boot-switchable "PDS sleep credit," which improves task prioritization upon waking. While installation is straightforward for AMD64 users on Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch, potential users should be aware of some reported issues with AMDGPU integrated graphics and may prefer a long-term support (LTS) kernel for stability

Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.2-17 Released on Linux 7.2.10

Liquorix tagged its newest kernel build, 7.2-17 today, sitting on top of upstream Linux 7.2.10. It's really a maintenance release: the changelog is just "merge v7.2.10" plus a version bump, carrying forward the real feature work from last week's 7.2-16, which added a boot-switchable "PDS sleep credit." The enthusiast kernel swaps in the custom Project-C/PDS scheduler, a 1000 Hz tick, and full preemption for snappier interactive performance, though that comes at a cost to raw throughput. Available for Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch on AMD64 only, it suits gamers and power users who want responsiveness but isn't a fit for set-and-forget servers.
