How to choose the best kernel for your usage. BORE, LTO, Sched_EXT,...

[@astronemir]

This video is way deeper than the title suggest. Was super valuable for me even though I don’t run cachy-Os

[@iBolski]

Once again, another great video. I found that with the basic default scheduler, (which was scx_bpfland), I was getting sound pops in games like Ghost of Tsushima. When I tried rusty, the issue went away. Keep up the great work. You have really helped me understand how CachyOS is one of the best Arch Linux distros out there with all their performance tweaks available. I love the Arch distros, but CachyOS is great to get a very performance-enhanced Arch install out of the box without too much manual configuration needed. This has helped me get Ghost of Tsushima running at 1080p with 60 fps on my lowly GTX-1660 in Wayland.

[@karnimux]

I am pretty sure rustland is the default one. Maybe I am out of the loop though 😅

[@iBolski]

@@karnimux For some reason, it wasn't for me. I had to set rusty as the default. Not sure why that is. Maybe at some point, I modified it to bpfland but I don't ever remember going through all the steps I did to change it from bpfland to rusty. In any case, sound stuttering is gone now. And I'm getting a nice 60 fps on my GTX-1660 for Ghost of Tsushima now. Yes, I have to use FSR 3, but hey, at least I'm getting stable framerates now at balanced mode and it looks nice still. 😀

Great! I love the topic of linux kernel and it's schedulers :)

Great to hear! You can enjoy it in ADVANCE LIKE A BOSS! Take care dude!

I use rt-bore-lto in cachy for audio production. Coming from Ubuntu Studio, It feels like my PC has been walking the whole time, and just started to run.

Great video, I've been in the settings already but your video contained a bunch of info that I didn't know yet. Thanks!

I just use the standard kernel Cachy installs, works fine for what I do, which is light gaming and watching youtube/being very sarcastic on Discord :D

[@westaus666]

Hello, thank you for your videos, I've been using them a lot. I was hoping you would cover anything regarding old vs new hardware, etc. I.e. @16:40 mention your CPU is v3, how do I find out for i5-3337U? With Configure @17:50, would Nvidia options be a consideration for 740M? This is for Toshiba Satellite L50-A psklea-00m001 for children. I have Cachy on my gaming rig with 7700x & RX6800.

[@ilaripori6148]

I just did some CS2 benchmarking on windows 11, fedora stock and TKG Bore kernel, wayland and x11. Interesting results: Fedora 40 Overall Performance (FPS) Configuration Average FPS Windows 11 447.2 Wayland, Stock 399.15 X11, Stock 398.2 Wayland, TKG BORE 420.7 X11, TKG BORE 493.35 Windows 11 outperforms most Linux configurations except for X11 with the TKG BORE kernel. This is the downloadable benchmark from marketplace (dust2), i did 2 runs of everything to make sure the fps is consistent and it was.

[@nameplaceholder4895]

how difficult was it implementing TKG into your distro? I have been skimming the git and contemplating it.

[@ilaripori6148]

​@@nameplaceholder4895 I dunno if youtube removed my earlier reply. Not hard at all. Just go through the script and choose BORE, 500hz and full tickless for the same config. After the compliation the script will hang at "Wrote:blahblahblah" part just wait patiently and it will promt the install.

[@Aleks-it4ok]

have you test it in something other than cs2?

[@ilaripori6148]

@@Aleks-it4ok Just anecdotally. Hell let loose for example feels way better. BUT I dont use x11 even for those gains because its just bad for everything else

I have a laptop hp HP Laptop 15-db0xxx 2 × AMD A9-9425 RADEON R5, 5 COMPUTE CORES 2C+3G when I install CachyOs I have no problem, but when you start the laptop after rebooting this remains black screen and only shows the cursor, I tried several restarts, several installations but always the same thing happens. can anyone help me with a solution? only happens to me in KDE, in the other desktop environments it works fine.

[@steve.1020]

Hey A1RM4X i went to the forums but no one could help me when i play hogwarts legacy on cachy os the game runs well but when the character`s talk to each other there is no audio i tried different proton same thing it only happens on cachy maybe im missing audio codec or amd gpu driver or something?

[@astronemir]

Probably audio codec or even permissions? (Do you have ownership of Audio files? Maybe they were installed by another OS with a different UID

[@ReadyRizky]

so what is the best SCX scheds for gaming for my R7 5800X?

[@nameplaceholder4895]

LAVD with performance flag is good,

[@fredericconsavela8484]

IN term of low latency (for audio) which is the best?

[@ml_serenity]

Hey Max! There is one gaming area where Linux has a huge advantage over Windows 11 - rpcs3 emulation of PS3 games.

Was trying to use vmware on linux until i figured out it required an older kernel for certain modules 😭

[@Zeptic1]

Can i test out different timer freq with this?

[@A1RM4X]

You can recompile manually through the app.

[@Zeptic1]

@@A1RM4X but it cannot be done without recompiling? like how you can switch out shedulers, is there a way to have the same scheduler but with different timer freq to see which gives me the most performance?

[@A1RM4X]

You have to recompile.

LTO boosted my Squad 100%, 4k ultrawide 1080ti 3700x Local training server medium graphics W11: 50fps CachyOS: 55fps COS+LTO 105fps. Online server depends (weird), some full servers only got 55-70fps but some i got 90-100fps even on full big map and multiple maps. Shed-Ex did nothing in both lavd and bpland gaming.

Hello everybody. I have a 1tb ssd with windows 10 instaled,i want to install a linux distro on the same ssd without deleting the windows 10 to dualboot my pc,the linux is exclusivity for gaming,to transform the pc into a console similar to steam os.

@@A1RM4X ok. And what Linux distro is the best for my case?

[@SparklesFall]

@@hugooliveira5578 you could go with something like mint but i recommend pop os because of the gpu drivers coming pre installed and those kind of things. If you didnt like neither of them you can also go with fedora and if you dont want to buy a new ssd, dont worry because i've been dual booting ubuntu,mint and pop for almost 2 years now and i havent had a single issue with them. Just make sure to not mess up the disk partitioning and you'll be good

[@lobotommy2557]

Unpopular opinion : The default distro kernel does the job in 99% of the cases. The rest is on the edge optimizations for benchmarks or making some game from unplayable to barely playable in very weak machines

[@NelsonsbMatos]

@@lobotommy2557edit it and make it sane opinion

[@johan73]

no, those kernel really do a good job unlike the default.

[@Afurai_]

Disagree. GNU/Linux is a server OS first and it's just now starting to take desktop workflows seriously. The kernel wasn't originally intended for the things people are trying to do desktop-client side right now, as again, it's a server OS from the 80's. These newer kernels exist to be optimize for desktop workflows specifically

[@lobotommy2557]

@@Afurai_ The default desktop kernels are already set with sane desktop defaults. The custom kernels are optimizations. You can have some light gains, but it will not transform a snail into a royal eagle
