Security 10932 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

IPFire Core Update 200 brings the long-term-supported Linux kernel 6.18 LTS, along with dozens of package upgrades, performance tweaks, and hardened security fixes to keep network traffic running smoothly.

Liquorix Kernel 6.18-17: Boosting Responsiveness and Gaming Performance

Debian 10806 Ubuntu 7003 Arch Linux 939 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The new Liquorix Kernel 6.18-17 brings together the upstream Linux 6.18.15 tree with tweaks aimed at improving responsiveness and gaming performance, while sacrificing some throughput and power efficiency.

For those looking for low jitter and fast wake-ups, Liquorix Kernel 6.18-17 is a solid choice, but users prioritizing battery life or stability under exotic hardware may want to stick with the distro kernel.

Install XanMod Kernel 6.8.15 on Debian or Ubuntu: A Step-by-Step Guide

Debian 10806 Ubuntu 7003 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The XanMod kernel release 6.8.15 brings several improvements, including ThinLTO, better block I/O handling, and a built-in BBRv3 TCP congestion controller.
