Howdy lovely folks and a belated Happy New Year.

As part of my ongoing mid-life crisis, I wanted to see what all this fuss is about scx and lavd in particular. It seems that the stock kernel doesn’t come enabled/compiled with the v6.12+ sched-ext goodness.

I try to stay on the stock kernel as far as possible because I haven’t noticed any benefits prior to this with “specialized” gaming kernels. However, for this particular experiment I had to install Xanmod as it does come pre-compiled with scx support. I was hoping to see if folks smarter than me can explain why the stock Debian kernel isn’t supporting this new and exciting feature? Is it just a matter of time?

TIA
