Do you think that there is much difference, performance wise, between the main arch kernel and lts kernel ? I can’t find any resource with practical info on that.
Usually not much in my personal experience, even with zen it’s usually petty slim race.
The bigger differences I have read about are for Real-Time (RT) use-cases. Other than that I notice no real performance difference in most games and applications. Other than stability of the OS, once in a blue moon, on the non-LTS kernel. So I kind of kept the LTS as my default kernel over time, unless you are in need of the newest commits to the kernel of course.
Heads up anyone who has trouble with MangoHUD not showing correct gamemode status. Apparently this has been an issue for a long time. Gamemode is kinda active, MangoHUD just doesn’t register it.
To make it so that gamemode is shown with correct status in MangoHUD, you have to use this launch option: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgamemode.so gamemoderun
. I use steam, so I’d also add the %command%
at the end.
