Linux Kernel 7.0 just landed in Core-Testing

[Scotty_Trees]

Greetings lovely community,

Won’t be long now till the latest kernel 7.0.2 lands in stable. What feature(s) and/or improvements are you most looking forward to?

I’m on it!!! Looks good…will see what the performance looks like.

Update: I can already see that thermal temp control is better with my Intel Ultra7 265KF…played a couple of games..,..saw a “slight” difference in FPS…nothing to really write home about. What I want to see is a performance difference in BOINC & that will take several days to track.

These are the 4 that will really tell if there is a noticeable improvement:

Working fine here!

I’ve been running the CachyOS 7 kernel without issues for about 2 weeks now.

 ─❯ uname -r
7.0.1-1-cachyos
─❯

Just upgraded my main machine as well. So far so good, no problems with nvidia and it’s drivers.

Second gaming notebook with the nvidia 580 drivers also not a single issue.

I ran tkg 7.0 for week or so, it didn’t make my pc go faster and I had noticed stutters in a game I was playing, so I went back to the stock Arch kernel. Will see if the stutters return when 7.0 lands in the core repo, I suspect the stuttering was more specific to the self compiled tkg kernel together with the tkg nvidia drivers.

Kernel 7.0.0_3 just got pushed to the Proxmox “non-enterprise” repos. I just updated my little homelab…running smooth.

It’s time to update, bigger version number go BRRRR!!
