Description

Since 6.6, CPU scheduler is changed to EEVDF.

Custom kernel based on Fedora official kernel with linux-tkg, community patches by TK-Glitch and kernel_compiler_patch by grasky2

About kernel CONFIGs

These CONFIGs are enabled in this kernel package.

# For adding I/O schedulers
CONFIG_MQ_IOSCHED_KYBER=y
CONFIG_IOSCHED_BFQ=y
## For tkg
CONFIG_ZENIFY=y
CONFIG_USER_NS_UNPRIVILEGED=y
CONFIG_NTSYNC=y
# CONFIG_HZ_750 is not set
## For OpenRGB
CONFIG_I2C_NCT6775=m
## for cjktty since 6.3.5
CONFIG_FONT_CJK_16x16=y
CONFIG_FONT_CJK_32x32=y

kernel_compile_patch CONFIGs which optimize the kernel for some specific CPUs are not enabled by default.

You can also enable by using your own kernel-local and rebuild the package. See Building a custom kernel
