Linux Compatible - Ubuntu (Page 354)

Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.0-5 released

Debian 10929 Ubuntu 7100 Arch Linux 964 Published 2026-05-09 08:09 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Liquorix Kernel 7.0-5 trades raw throughput and battery efficiency for snappier desktop interactions by tightening scheduler timeslices and adjusting CPU frequency scaling thresholds. The update swaps disk I/O schedulers to kyber or bfq depending on your drive type, which helps random read performance during everyday tasks like launching apps or switching windows. Installing it on Debian or Ubuntu is as simple as running a single curl command, though keeping a fallback live USB handy remains smart since aggressive tuning can occasionally break proprietary driver compatibility. Desktop creators and gamers will likely appreciate the reduced input lag, but servers and battery-powered laptops should probably stick with their distribution stock kernels instead.

Lua and NASM updates for Ubuntu Linux

Ubuntu 7100 Published 2026-05-09 06:58 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Ubuntu released two security notices that address critical issues in Lua and NASM across different operating system versions. The first notice targets Ubuntu 16.04 LTS by patching a garbage collection flaw in Lua that could allow attackers to crash the system or run unauthorized programs. Developers also needed to reverse a recent NASM patch for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS after discovering that the initial correction actually caused the assembler to crash unexpectedly. Users on both platforms can resolve these problems by running a standard system update or enabling Ubuntu Pro to pull the corrected package versions.

XanMod Kernel 6.18.17 LTS and 7.0.4 released

Debian 10929 Ubuntu 7100 Published 2026-05-08 07:58 by Philipp Esselbach 0

XanMod just dropped kernels 6.18.17 LTS and 7.0.4 to give Debian and Ubuntu users a noticeably snappier desktop experience without waiting on upstream updates. The build ships with Google multigenerational LRU memory management, Cloudflare TCP collapse, BBRv3 networking tweaks, and dedicated drivers for AMD 3D V-Cache and Steam Deck hardware. Proprietary modules like NVIDIA graphics or VirtualBox often break during compilation, so checking DKMS compatibility before swapping kernels is a must. The installation takes just three APT commands plus a few build dependencies, but running the update on a spare machine first will save you from a boot loop when a driver refuses to compile.

Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.0-1 released

Debian 10929 Ubuntu 7100 Arch Linux 964 Published 2026-05-07 16:45 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The first Liquorix kernel built around the Linux 7 series swaps standard power saving defaults for aggressive interactivity tweaks that keep desktops feeling snappy under heavy loads. It forces a two millisecond scheduling timeslice, switches to kyber or bfq disk schedulers, and rewrites CPU frequency scaling to stop idling during short bursts of activity. Installing it on Debian or Ubuntu systems takes just one curl command that handles dependencies and drops the new binaries straight into your package manager. Desktop users chasing smoother frame pacing or tighter audio latency will notice the difference immediately, though you should expect slightly higher power draw when the processor refuses to idle.
