Liquorix Linux has released kernel version 7.2-6, which notably excludes the previously introduced Project-C scheduler just 20 hours after its debut in version 7.2-5. Maintainer Steven Barrett opted for a complete rollback due to severe regressions associated with the new scheduler, restoring stability to the upstream v7.2.3 base. The rapid release cycle from September 3rd to 5th indicates that the Project-C implementation encountered significant issues, prompting this revert rather than maintaining a flawed feature. Despite the removal of Project-C, the 7.2-6 release still includes all prior improvements from the upstream Linux kernel, ensuring users receive a stable and well-tested version
Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.2-6 Kernel Reverts Project-C Scheduler After 24-Hour Sprint
Liquorix Linux has officially shipped kernel 7.2-6, though the release is defined less by what it adds and more by what it strips away. Just 20 hours after introducing the ambitious Project-C custom scheduler, maintainer Steven Barrett pulled a full revert to restore stability to the v7.2.3 upstream base. The rapid four-version sprint from September 3rd to 5th suggests the new scheduler introduced regressions severe enough to warrant an immediate rollback. Users running Debian, Ubuntu, or Arch on AMD64 can still grab the patched kernel via the official install script or distro repos, with Project-C expected to return once the code clears a cleaner testing pass.
