About Liquorix

Zen Interactive Tuning: Tunes the kernel for responsiveness at the cost of throughput and power usage.
PDS Process Scheduler: Fair process scheduler for gaming, multimedia, and real-time loads.
High Resolution Scheduling: 1000hz tick rate for precise low jitter task scheduling.
Preemptible tree-based hierarchical RCU: RCU implementation for real-time systems.
Hard Kernel Preemption: Most aggressive kernel preemption before requiring real-time patches. Guarantees responsive system under high intensity mixed workload scenarios.
Budget Fair Queue: Proper disk scheduler optimized for desktop usage, high throughput / low latency.
TCP BBR2 Congestion Control: Fast congestion control, maximizes throughput, guaranteeing higher speeds than Cubic.
Compressed Swap: Swap storage is compressed with LZ4 using zswap
Multigenerational LRU: Alternative LRU algorithm that performs better under high memory pressure and uptimes
Distribution Kernel Drop-in Replacement: Proper distribution style configuration supporting broadest selection of hardware. Paravirtualization options enabled to reduce overhead under virtualization.
Minimal Debugging: Minimum number of debug options enabled to increase kernel throughput.

In addition:

WineSync: Winesync is yet another reimplementation of the NT synchronization primitives for Wine. Uses the Xanmod patch.

Installation Instructions

Fedora
