  1. After installing the zen kernel I got rid of all lag from Rocket League. It would lag on game join and during kickoff, but with the zen kernel it just doesn't.

    Great success!

  2. Someone give me advice have a lenovo legion 5 touchpad will only work with with if elants ekth i2c is modularise in menuconfig all linux distros kernel has it as built in (*) and will not work but nvidia driver doesn't like custom kernels always fails so I just run my apu or nouveau driver is there a way to get nvidia drivers and custom kernels to work

  3. @Chris Titus Tech I don't want a custom Kernel I just looking for lastest kernel to add to or update centos stream os too . but you bring up some good points here

  4. I was expecting to see how you setup the .config
    For me, i take the latest stable kernel from kernel.org do an 'make olddefconfg' to get a runnable baseline and then run xconfig or menuconfig and go through it removing stuff I don't need and enabling a few things like changing the processor from 'generic' to 'core2/xeon or newer', removing bounce buffers and since I run an Intel based system i also disable all the AMD stuff, along with video and networking items that are not applicable to my system, disable Trusted Platform,Industrial support, and a lot more. I also do INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 to reduce module size. There *are* things you can enable or disable that improve kernel performance, you need to dig to find the stuff that fits your system. As just one simple example, i found that zswap was disabled so i enabled it for faster swap performance. Anyway, the result is a streamlined kernel that works great on my system. BTW: you should use make – j*(4*num_cpu) and the compile will run very fast. I just compiled 5.8.11 from a make clean state and it only took me 17 minutes 30 seconds on OpenSuse Leap 15.2 and an Intel 3960x with 16G of ram which was running milkyway at home at the same time which puts a heavy load on the cpu by itself. In the end is it faster? Yes, but not noticeably so. Its now able to use more current instructions and that and things like zswap ought to help. It also gets rid of a lot of cruft and takes up a lot less space between /boot and /lib/modules
    Never stop tinkering!

  5. Personally I'm using the Xanmod custom kernel. From what I've gathered it pulls in some kernel patches from Intel's clear Linux and the like. And my system feels a bit more responsive.

    My Ubuntu 19.10 install seems to be running fine so far. Only major change I had to do was wipe out my swap partition.
