@makuru:catgirl.cloudMakuruHow much does link time optimization actually help?15:52:31
@makuru:catgirl.cloudMakuruAnd when do I need to recompile?15:52:44
@makuru:catgirl.cloudMakuru Also doesnt LTO, take like a multiple longer to compile, just for a few percent faster? 15:53:16
@makuru:catgirl.cloudMakuruI mean in kernel.15:53:21
@k900:0upti.meK900 It generally doesn't 15:55:04
@k900:0upti.meK900 At least it definitely doesn't help much 15:55:11
@linux-daddy:beeper.comLinux DADDY K900 what kernel you use or you recommend which is good for nixos? 15:55:50
@makuru:catgirl.cloudMakuru Default or if you need, newest. 15:56:05
@k900:0upti.meK900 linuxPackages_latest 15:56:06
@linux-daddy:beeper.comLinux DADDYYou use this because of you have latest hardware?15:56:40
@k900:0upti.meK900Not really15:56:44
@linux-daddy:beeper.comLinux DADDYAre you on stable branch?15:56:46
@k900:0upti.meK900I think it should be the default generally15:56:51
@k900:0upti.meK900It's mostly not because of out of tree drivers15:56:58
@k900:0upti.meK900But generally there's rarely a reason to not run a non-mainline kernel on a workstation15:57:17
@makuru:catgirl.cloudMakuru You use it if you need more newer optimizations or feature or really fresh hardware. >1year or something. 15:57:27
@linux-daddy:beeper.comLinux DADDY Right, According to you guys you do not recommend other kernel like cachyos's or zen or xanmod right? 15:58:20
@makuru:catgirl.cloudMakuruI run the latest for a long time now, only downside is I dont have zfs support, what I dont need and sometimes need to compile it through nix.15:59:03
@makuru:catgirl.cloudMakuru I dont bother with such micro optimizations, if you do, use something like gendoo or whatever. 15:59:34
@linux-daddy:beeper.comLinux DADDYgendoo?15:59:52
@makuru:catgirl.cloudMakuru *gentoo 16:01:17
@k900:0upti.meK900Gentoo16:00:49
@linux-daddy:beeper.comLinux DADDYNo I'm good without it16:02:32
@linux-daddy:beeper.comLinux DADDYYes I'm good without gentoo16:03:23
@linux-daddy:beeper.comLinux DADDYAnyone knows what's the fix?16:04:24
@makuru:catgirl.cloudMakuruhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel#kernel.org_kernels Huh, according to archlinux, there are two bleeding edge kernels, one cutting edge and the other for cutting edge gpu?16:05:01
@makuru:catgirl.cloudMakuruConfused16:05:04
@k900:0upti.meK900Those are all just integration git trees16:05:34
