If anyone has tried this on arch I'd love to hear your experience... I've got a home server sitting in my living room that looks bored.

Been using lqx kernels for many years now.

On arch, I definitely get better gaming performance than the stock kernel. The liquorix repo's arch kernel doesn't play well with libvirt - that's about my only gripe.

Xanmod kernel seems to have all the gaming improvements and still plays nice with libvirt though.

I run his kernel on my daily workstation at my day job :3 its stable and fantastic.

(Also run zen on my main gaming rig, another fantastic kernel)

Hearing "the best" there really bugs me for some reason.

Why? It's well scoped: "the best ... for desktop, multimedia, and gaming workloads".

The Linux kernel is buit for all sorts of devices, including embedded, servers, desktops, phones, etc - it's not hard to imagine the default settings being not perfectly optimized for a specific usecase (that said, I have not tried the lqx kernel or looked at benchmarks, but the claim doesn't seem outrageous).

I think "optimized for desktop, multimedia, and gaming workloads" would convey the message better.
