A similar project I've been using for working with DAWs (audio recording / real-time effects) is https://xanmod.org/
Not sure how it compares to liquorix, but xanmod allowed me to go from 60ms+ to <10ms in pipewire latency.

I can confirm that running my Ubuntu 20.04 on a xanmod kernel improved my FPS in Cyberpunk from around 40 to 65-70. And because it's only a kernel, this is the simplest and quickest way to improve your gaming experience.
Definitely recommend xanmod.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
Amusingly, "optimized" originally means "made best".

(But I guess "best" can have a connotation of marketing-speak, while "optimized" can have a connotation of engineering-speak.)

#24I've been using this on Debian 11 on an HP ML330 G6. It has dual xeons. The main reason is that there is a bug in the normal Debian kernel that prevents that specific machine from booting with a kernel panic. The bug seems to be fixed in later kernel versions, hence Liquorix. That machine also boots fine from a debian 10 kernel which is how I was able to install liquorix after the debian 11 upgrade went sideways.
There are newer Linux kernel versions in Debian bullseye-backports btw. Also, if you know which patch fixes the panic, you might want to get it into the Linux kernel LTS releases, which end up in Debian stable after a month or two.

Re: Liquorix Kernel
#25I wonder if anyone is working on getting these patches into mainline Linux, even as a build config option.

#26This might be a noob question but does this rebuild the zfs kernel modules as well for those of us using it on LTS? Can we use this on teh LTS version?

What is your hardware if I may ask ? 60ms is outrageous - I run the stock kernel and have had no issues with fairly small buffer sized, e.g. 32/48/64 frames (around 1 millisecond) in jack settings

I'd bet money they haven't played with their buffer size, because you're right, 60ms is basically unusable unless you're just mixing. I had a PC 15 years ago with a PCI Layla 8 channel input that got better latency than 60ms.

Just installed this going to reboot and see if the nvidia gpu and stuff works.
The zfs module built just fine.
update: gpu works fine, zfs is not working -- looked like the kernel module was built but I must have been mistaken.
update2: install deps then
sudo make clean && ./configure && make && make deb-dkms && sudo dpkg -i ...
and then import pools as needed

#30Very cool. But that curl|bash still makes me clench my butt.
