What kernel do you use
Re: What kernel do you use
Linux helium2 4.13.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.13.13-1~bpo9+1 (2017-11-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux from stable backports
and 4.9.0-4-amd64 for the backup.
I'm looking forward to 4.14 as it is LTS with support for six years.

Re: What kernel do you use
It looks like kernels will soon create a 5%-30% slowdown in many processors due to working around a design flaw in Intel processors. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page= ... 6pti&num=1

Re: What kernel do you use
I'm happy now - Just installed Debian Sid/Butch AND succeded with installing the current nVidia driver without a glitch. Now I really love my Debian install.
Forgot to tell that I'm running kernel 4.15.0.1 on my system - Boy is that kernel fast.

Re: What kernel do you use
Backported the upstream Sid kernel for the MX 17 test repo on a vanilla Stretch pbuilder, except that I bumped the context switch frequency from 250 to 1000Hz, and of course changed it to be compatible with gcc-6 instead of gcc-7:

Re: What kernel do you use
Finally i was able to upgrade kernel without losing performance..
I moved form 4.4.39 to 4.4.126 without losing performance..Testing it for four days, i feel a good performance.
I guess Meltdown is included by now.

Re: What kernel do you use
Still using the highest available LTS kernels in both distros...
Same Devuan install since the first beta...
I keep PCLOS around (on a separate SSD) for multimedia and such...although, the last round of updates broke FF Multi Converter (won't even open and I'm too lazy to fix it )...
Here's a little tip for you PCLOS users, new kernel install(s) may bork your sensors config, just run sensors-detect as root (assuming you have lm_sensors and hddtemp installed already), then re-config gKrellm or whatever your fave sensor app is.
Found a workaround for FF Multi Converter in PCLOS (it still wouldn't launch after the latest upgrade), I changed the Desktop launcher command to and run it as root, then change the files' permissions to users-read/write in Thunar as root. I have to down-covert TV shows to old .mpg(2), that's the only way my old/cheap DVD player's USB port will play them from a stick. Problem solved.

Re: What kernel do you use
I went back to 4.4.39, I wont search for another kernel anymore. From that version on, my laptop come into cpu's obsolescence gap; my system (Extensa5230) works perfect with that version's kernel. Being In linux for several years and upon my own experience, I dont worry anymore about security threads, I'll priorize performance. I prefer to keep hold some apps and libraries in order to maximize performance and behavior if possible.bester69 wrote:Finally i was able to upgrade kernel without losing performance..

I wanted to try out new power-saving feature.
My CPU is fluctuating between 0 and 55% for no apparent reason, and my hard drive is being active while doing nothing. As a result, battery is draining, fast. Surprisingly, Broadcom wi-fi card is working.
In short, try not to do this at home and stick to the Debian's kernel
I will try to remove intel-microcode, see if that helps.
Update: It seems to have been stable after installing stretch's microcode, not the one from backports. HDD activity is normal.
Update2: Removing microcode again, CPU seems to be at 100% sometimes when playing 720p+ videos on Youtube. This benchmarking is troublesome indeed.
And what-do-you-know, it worked.
