Disabling spectre mitigations

Turn off CPU exploit mitigations

:warning:

Warning: Do not apply this setting without considering the vulnerabilities it opens up. See this and this for more information.

Turning off CPU exploit mitigations may improve performance. Use below kernel parameter to disable them all:

mitigations=off

You would need to regenerate the grub.cfg then it presumably should work

I don’t think you actually need to remove anything from that line. Just adding mitigations=off should do.
