Install XanMod Kernel 6.19.2 (First Release in 6.19 Series) on Debian-Based Systems: A Step-by-Step Guide

Debian 10851 Ubuntu 7041 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The first XanMod kernel, version 6.19.2, has been released based on the latest 6.19 Kernel series with several enhancements and new features. To install it on Debian-based systems, start by adding the official repository and grabbing its signing key to prevent warnings from apt.

Liquorix Kernel 6.18-13: A Step-by-Step Guide to Improved Performance on Debian, Ubuntu and Arch

Debian 10851 Ubuntu 7041 Arch Linux 949 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Liquorix Kernel 6.18-13 offers improved performance and reduced latency for desktop users and gamers through tweaks such as swapping the default scheduler and adjusting CPU settings. To install this kernel on Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux systems, download the official script using curl and follow its instructions to pull the necessary .deb files from Liquorix's repository. The new kernel replaces the mq-deadline scheduler with Kyber for multiqueue devices and BFQ for single-queue drives, resulting in faster performance during tasks like video encoding and gaming. After installation and a reboot, users can verify that the new kernel is active by checking the system's output from commands like uname -r and /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler.

Get Started with XanMod Kernels: Installing 6.18.12 and 6.12.73 LTS on Debian-Based Systems

Debian 10851 Ubuntu 7041 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The XanMod kernels 6.18.12 and 6.12.73 LTS offer improved performance, including faster compile times and higher throughput for I/O-intensive containers, due to ThinLTO compilation and block layer runqueue changes.
