Makuru | How much does link time optimization actually help? | 15:52:31 |
Makuru | And when do I need to recompile? | 15:52:44 |
Makuru | Also doesnt LTO, take like a multiple longer to compile, just for a few percent faster? | 15:53:16 |
Makuru | I mean in kernel. | 15:53:21 |
K900 | It generally doesn't | 15:55:04 |
K900 | At least it definitely doesn't help much | 15:55:11 |
Linux DADDY | K900 what kernel you use or you recommend which is good for nixos? | 15:55:50 |
Makuru | Default or if you need, newest. | 15:56:05 |
K900 | linuxPackages_latest | 15:56:06 |
Linux DADDY | You use this because of you have latest hardware? | 15:56:40 |
K900 | Not really | 15:56:44 |
Linux DADDY | Are you on stable branch? | 15:56:46 |
K900 | I think it should be the default generally | 15:56:51 |
K900 | It's mostly not because of out of tree drivers | 15:56:58 |
K900 | But generally there's rarely a reason to not run a non-mainline kernel on a workstation | 15:57:17 |
Makuru | You use it if you need more newer optimizations or feature or really fresh hardware. >1year or something. | 15:57:27 |
Linux DADDY | Right, According to you guys you do not recommend other kernel like cachyos's or zen or xanmod right? | 15:58:20 |
Makuru | I 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 | I dont bother with such micro optimizations, if you do, use something like gendoo or whatever. | 15:59:34 |
Linux DADDY | gendoo? | 15:59:52 |
Makuru | *gentoo | 16:01:17 |
K900 | Gentoo | 16:00:49 |
Linux DADDY | No I'm good without it | 16:02:32 |
Linux DADDY | Yes I'm good without gentoo | 16:03:23 |
Linux DADDY | Anyone knows what's the fix? | 16:04:24 |
Makuru | https://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 | Confused | 16:05:04 |
K900 | Those are all just integration git trees | 16:05:34 |
