ThdKernel stable release

Changelog

  • Battery optimizations - this release aims to provide better battery life.
  • Reduced internal timer frequency - maybe the kernel responds slowly but as for better battery life.
  • Enabled opportunistic sleep.
  • Do not force kernel lockdown (can be disabled using boot params).

WARNING

  • This is a major release (from v5.9.13 -> v5.10.3) - some features may dissapear and/or stop working! - use with caution. If you are a regular user (not a kernel module developer, for example), you *may* not have problems.
  • Old NVIDIA driver (455.38 or lower) WON'T WORK - this new kernel release brings new features making it incompatible with older NVIDIA drivers - use driver 455.45 or higher to be able to use your graphics card (PPA "https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa" has the latest working drivers properly).
  • This update also removes support for a lot of devices - if you see incompatibilities, please contact me with an issue or by mail: dev at javinator9889.com

Features

  • Kernel made only for ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 (N580GD).
  • Reduced kernel size (minimum devices + usually used ones) [report non working devices at issues].
  • Better performance both gaming and desktop (Intel P-State powersave as default gov).
  • Optimized for working with M.2 SSDs.
  • Optimized for device hardware (Intel Skylake processor, NVIDIA GPU, WiFi card, ...).
  • SecureBoot ready - download .der file and just enroll it!
  • fsync patched kernel - lutris games may perform better!
  • And *probrably* more
