A new version of the XanMod kernel for Debian and Ubuntu has been released. This kernel adds LLVM ThinLTO, aggressive x86_64 scheduling and networking upgrades like BBRv3 that can noticeably speed heavy I/O or compilation workloads. The kernel may break DKMS‑based drivers (NVIDIA, OpenZFS, VirtualBox/VMware), so keep the old kernel handy and be ready to reinstall or revert if needed. Install it by adding the XanMod repo, pulling in linux-xanmod and its headers, then rebooting and selecting the new entry.

Liquorix Kernel 6.18‑8 swaps the default scheduler for Kyber/BFQ, tightens CPU timeslices to 2 ms and enables aggressive preemption, giving desktops a noticeably snappier feel at the cost of a bit more power draw. The one‑liner install script simply adds the Liquirx repo, pulls the proper .deb (or AUR) package and updates GRUB—just save the script first, glance at it, then run it with sudo. Expect minor side effects like higher fan speed on laptops, possible firmware or driver rebuilds for older GPUs/NVIDIA cards, and a small learning curve if you use systemd‑boot instead of GRUB
