Re: What kernel do you use
In Devuan, from the Devuan backports...
The drive and USB I/O scheduling really sucked in 3.16.x (see system specs in sig), I have five drives and am constantly loading USB sticks with TV shows for an old DVD player that has a USB port. I'm having much better parallel I/O ops with the 4.9.x series. I wanted to stay 'stock' but sometimes you just gotta go with what works best. I only enable the backports for kernel updates or cherry pick otherwise not available apps, I stick to stable as much as possible.
Info for n00bs, linux-image-amd64 is the complete new kernel install handling meta package you want, it does everything required to successfully update the kernel and leave your system in a bootable state.

Re: What kernel do you use
You should add a qualifier to your recommendation. Assume a beginner doesn't know anything about our technical jibber-jabber; they might try and install your amd64 package on their 32-bit install.

Re: What kernel do you use
"Jibber jabber"? What part of my post was not clear to you? It was made clear where I installed the kernel from and to. The package name itself has "amd64" in it, if they don't know what that means, then they shouldn't be using Linux, or computers for that matter. Maybe you are attacking me just because I'm using Devuan, this is a KERNEL thread, I'm allowed to mention what distro I'm using. Have a nice day.stevepusser wrote:You should add a qualifier to your recommendation.

Re: What kernel do you use
4.9 custom compiled from source from the fine folks over at kernel.org. Still don't know a millionth of what da heck I'm doing w the kernel but enough to compile one of the suckers that runs pretty good on Debian Jessie.
At least nothing has caught on fire in the last couple months, 4.8bpo as backup.

Re: What kernel do you use
I never compiled a kernel, I go to ubuntu's ftp and install them (dpkg -i *.deb ), they work well in my experience, and i've installed around 20 or 30 differents versions.Deb-fan wrote:4.9 custom compiled from source from the fine folks over at kernel.org.

Ive tested several versions, and i cant improve 4.4.39 for my AcerExtensa 5230. So i gave it up, and stay in this version kernel until computer dies.

Re: What kernel do you use
For older computers , i mean 10+ years -- 3.16 i find very strong. Been usng 3.16 since a few years, very rarely remember to have stalled by the kernel.
I'm still on 3.16 series satisfied.

Re: What kernel do you use
Just installed Linux kernel 4.11 RC6 on my Ubuntu box - The kernel is fast on my core i7 3.4 GHz system with 16 GB RAM.
Glad I took the chance to try it out.

Re: What kernel do you use
I havent had any kernel issues here (that I am aware of!) so its been a while, but once upon a time Linux users were kind of expected to compile their own kernels to get the most out of their systems. Back in the days when RAM was $50 per Mb.

There is a config script that is awesome in that it allows you to configure the kernel to your system with alot of precision. With google as your brain, it would be a true learning adventure.
I'll probably be doing it again the next time I need to take the system apart - as I need to disconnect the other drives to keep grub's filthy mitts off them. I really do hate grub.....
Re: What kernel do you use
Just installed kernel 4.11 on my laptop which is giving "new life" to my wifi. I can only recommend to install that kernel as it has brought new speed to the device.
On my Ubuntu-box I've installed kernel 4.10.0.21 and that kernel is just fast. The device runs Artful Aardvark a.k.a Ubuntu 17.10. I'm considering to install Linux 4.11 on that box too but for now it's really stable so why take the chance?
Better to have stability than live dangerously close to re-install.

Re: What kernel do you use
Now that grsecurity has closed it's doors I'm using Alpine's linux-hardened kernel:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hardened/H ... el_Project
Does anybody know if Debian has a KSPP-enabled kernel version yet?
It would be a nice addition now that stretch binaries are compiled as fully PIE

Meanwhile in Arch, Daniel Micay is tracking the 4.11 series and seems to be updating it several times a day — what a guy!

Re: What kernel do you use
I've been stickin' to the 4.9.x series in Devuan (4.9.30-bpo) and PCLOS (4.9.34), my machine loves 'em. I just hope it'll like the next highest LTS.

Ha ha, yeah, it is finicky, it has a lot to do with iommu and the VIA USB 3.0 chip.
