I'm sorry you don't know what you're talking about.

I haven't updated to the 5.7 branch yet but the zen devs don't always have it out same day.

In addition, it's a git pkgbuild, if you're in a hurry just modify it yourself and flag it out of date instead of complaining.

It's not up to date! Today is June, last updated in April. I rather use this and compile for my architecture than use recompiled. However, it's not up to date.

This is the same kernel as liquorix/lqx, and there's a precompiled linux-zen in community also. Damentz and some others manage it and do a great job choosing features and patches to enhance desktop responsiveness.

I compiled linux-zen with some custom configuration and ran some benchmarks to check the difference in performance. I'm very happy with the results. The only three tests that this kernel was considerably slower were the Apache test (which I don't care, this is a desktop kernel anyway), the context switching stress-ng test and schbench 8 threads (my CPU have 2 cores and 4 threads, I've noticed lack of responsiveness when more than 4 processes are consuming CPU).

Note that these benchmarks are not scientific. I'll try to recompile linux-zen with localyesconfig and upload more results.

Seems like the first time on every new kernel point release lately it does not build with the config that is in the build dir, but some wierd one that does not even boot properly (with lots of auditing in dmesg). When I check the src/build dir the .config file there is correct, and a makepkg -f build the correct kernel.

Whats happening now?
