stevepusser is referring to the frequency of the kernel interrupts — 250Hz is the default, 1000Hz gives less lag and a more "responsive" desktop (allegedly).

EDIT: check your Ubuntu kernel's interrupt frequency with:

Code: Select all

grep CONFIG_HZ /boot/config-${kernel-version}-$arch
Replace ${kernel-version} with the kernel version and replace $arch with the architecture (probably amd64).
Yes, I just manually change a couple lines in the kernel configuration text file in /debian before the rebuild to effect that change, instead of running one of the configuration utilties that come with the kernel. The frequency can also be seen as how often the kernel does context switches--which is the switching of the CPU from one process or thread to another. Ubuntu's is also faster than the Debian kernel's 250 Hz, which is considered better for server use.

more likely about some borkage that persists even after restoring from btrfs snaphots... blaming debian or even kernel devs for it.

Now, Ive very very tested working very good and stable the following configuration, a easy and controlled mix of stable and testing, with ubuntu's kernel engine.
- Debian Stretch
- Ubuntu kenel 4.4.39_amd64
- Ubuntu kodi17.6 (Zesty)
- Opera Stable 42.0.2393.517

From Testing.:
- i965-va-driver, Libva-* (1.8.3)
- libdrm* (2.4.82)
- libav* (7:3.4-4)

This configuration works like a charm for an Acer Extensa5230.. 8)

i'm sort of out of sarcastic remarks concerning this user.
if it really "works like a charm", i guess we will never again see a help request from him/her anymore.

I refer the honourable member to this post where he breaks stuff yet again - http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... 17#p660347

And who else would embark on research to find out if Ubuntu kernel would work in Debian?
I encourage this kind of courageousness (as Sir Humphrey Appleby would call it). It's almost as good as watching The IT Crowd.
