    Why mess with the kernel? The standard one works fine and you’re likely looking at 1-2% difference either way.

    Also, stable isn’t rolling, that’s in the name.

      Liquorix and Zen kernels have different cpu scheduler which makes them more responsive for desktop usage under heavy load.

      Theoretically this reduces throughput but it’s barely measurable, compared to the noticeably better responsiveness.

        I doubt it’s as noticeable as you make it out to be. I use the default kernel shipped with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and the system is acceptably responsive while under load, with the main exception being low memory situations (i.e. heavy swap usage). But I expect the Zen scheduler to have similar issues.

        Then again, I probably have more tolerance for poor responsiveness because I rarely run my system to its limits (unless compiling) and rarely interact with other apps while playing games.

          It’s only been noticeable while compiling and looking at animations. It might also just be placebo or I’m misremembering since it’s been many months since I “tested” it.

          It wasn’t my intention to make it sound like it’s a giant improvement. It’s marginal but if it’s simple to install I’d say go for it.
