Hey there,
are there any real-world benefits (non-gaming) of using a patched kernel like kernel-tkg-zen2-preempt over the default (Fedora) kernel?
If I understand it correctly, this particular kernel (I'm on Fedora) compiles the default Fedora kernel with the additional config specified (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y enables full preemption mode, CONFIG_ZENIFY=y applies Zen-kernel patches, CONFIG_MZEN2=y adds Zen2+ CPU architecture specialization (I have an 7840HS), and others).
I have yet to find actual benchmarks that measure improvements in system responsiveness (how do you even measure that?) and fear that these patches will only decrease system stability. I'm not trying to tweak my system for a few percentages of performance or anything.
Cheers
