XanMod has released two new kernels, 7.0.10 and 6.18.33 LTS, designed to enhance performance for Debian and Ubuntu systems without the need for manual patching. These kernels incorporate several optimizations, including LLVM ThinLTO, improved memory management with Google multigenerational LRU, and a dedicated AMD 3D V-Cache driver. Installation is straightforward via the official APT repository, but users should be cautious with proprietary drivers, as they may break until updated. The updates are particularly beneficial for heavy workloads and multitasking, though casual users may find them unnecessary for standard stability

XanMod Kernel 7.0.10 and 6.18.33 LTS released

XanMod just dropped kernels 7.0.10 and 6.18.33 LTS to give Debian and Ubuntu systems a noticeable performance bump without requiring manual patching. The builds ship with LLVM ThinLTO, Google multigenerational LRU, BBRv3 networking, and an AMD 3D V-Cache driver that handles modern hardware quirks better than stock options. Installing them through the official APT repository is straightforward, but users should keep a fallback boot entry handy since proprietary drivers like NVIDIA or VirtualBox often break until maintainers catch up. Heavy workloads and sustained multitasking run noticeably smoother, though casual desktop users might find the extra tuning unnecessary compared to standard kernel stability.
