Alternative Linux kernels.

There are several alternative Linux kernels available for different purposes and use cases. Here’s a list of some popular alternative Linux kernels:

linux-lts (Long Term Support)

This is the Long Term Support version of the Linux kernel, designed for stability and reliability. It’s a good choice for servers and systems that require long-term support.

linux-zen

The Zen kernel is designed for desktop and multimedia use, emphasizing responsiveness and interactivity. It’s optimized for modern desktop hardware.

linux-hardened

The Hardened Linux kernel includes security-focused features and protections to enhance system security. It’s commonly used in security-conscious environments.

linux-ck (Con Kolivas)

The Con Kolivas patchset includes optimizations for desktop use, focusing on improving desktop performance and responsiveness.

linux-rt (Real-Time)

The Real-Time Linux kernel is designed for applications that require precise timing and low-latency performance, such as audio processing and industrial control systems.

linux-pf (Patched)

The Patched kernel includes various patches and optimizations not found in the mainline kernel. These patches can provide improved performance and support for specific hardware.

linux-xanmod

Xanmod is a general-purpose Linux kernel optimized for desktop and gaming use. It includes various enhancements and optimizations.

linux-mainline

The mainline kernel is the official Linux kernel maintained by the Linux community. It’s the basis for many other kernel variants and distributions.

linux-libre

The Libre kernel is a variant of the mainline kernel with all proprietary and non-free firmware removed. It’s focused on free software and open-source principles.

linux-rt-lts (Real-Time Long Term Support)

Similar to the real-time kernel but with long-term support for stability.

These are just a few examples, and there are many more custom kernels and variants available, each with its own specific focus and optimizations. The choice of kernel depends on your specific needs and hardware requirements.
