Steven Barrett has released Liquorix kernel package 7.2-7, which merges the upstream Linux version 7.2.4 and reverts previous scheduler changes made in the last week. This new release focuses on enhancing audio production, gaming, and low-latency interactive workloads, featuring Zen Interactive Tuning and PDS scheduling by default. The development of the 7.2 branch has been notably rapid, with seven major revisions in less than a week, indicating an aggressive approach to refining the codebase. The kernel is currently tailored for Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux, with a focus on responsiveness rather than throughput, making it unsuitable for high-traffic media servers
Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.2-7 Released: Linux Kernel 7.2.4 Merge and Scheduler Tuning
Steven Barrett has released Liquorix kernel package 7.2-7, merging upstream Linux v7.2.4 and bumping the internal version to 7.2.4-1. This wraps a remarkably fast development sprint, though the notable move is the complete revert of Project-C scheduler patches that were added and rolled back earlier this week. The build stays firmly focused on audio production, gaming, and low-latency interactive workloads, shipping with Zen Interactive Tuning, PDS scheduling, and hard kernel preemption by default.
