The latest one

This is not even a stupid question because any self respecting distro has his own kernel flavor (flavor means distro specific modifications).

The most famous is the "Vanilla" kernel from kernel.org. This is the original Linux kernel started by Linux Torvalds.

I personally use the kernel shipped with my distro (Debian) because it works fine. Do people have a strong preference for other flavors? I'd genuinely like to know.

I used to make a big deal of building my own kernel.

But it's because I was in high school and it was basically an autistic ricing ritual. It's cool and all to have stuff kernel devs were building right away rather than three years later and usually performed better.

But fuck me it took some time and effort. Back in those days a kernel build took about five hours.

thicc Arch with all modules enabled

the deblobbed linux-libre kernel

the one that werks

the version before the spectre&meltdown patches

The best Linux kernel is Linux.

You mean vanilla?

I am Linux.

>Not even building all into the kernel instead of loadable modules.
You don't know thicc, fa.m

Arch Linux

2.4 whatever when they got rid of the tickrate thing

/thread

There's no Spectre patches, as far as I know, and you can just compile it without the patches or disable that feature with pti=off in the bootloader.

Just buy AMD and still enjoy the new kernel.

The one with bcachefs compiled in.

Install Gentoo

3.x||GTFO

Linux Torvalds

The one that comes with Debian. Deblobbed, lightweight, add modules as needed. Debian strikes again.

Vanilla, all enabled, no modules.
