minus-squareAllero@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 days agoWoah nice! We need this to be used on more systems. I’d love to see this applied to more traditional immutable Linux - Bazzite in particular should benefit immensely.
minus-squareCorngood@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 days agoWhat are the interesting kernel features? I see zfs mentioned and custom optimisation flags, but those seem pretty easy to do in nixpkgs. I didn’t look at the patches. I guess the binary cache is nice if you want that specific kernel config.
minus-squareborosilicate@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 days agoIt depends on which one you pick. There are plenty of optimizations that aren’t offered on standard nixpkgs NixOS kernels like BORE. Ps. Actually follow the link I posted for the actual info you weee looking for.
