# Kernel
The [Linux](/wiki/linux.md) kernel is an open-source Unix-like computer operating system kernel.
## Versions
There are a few possible kernel version.
### Stable-Version: `linux`
The stable version of the [Linux](/wiki/linux.md) kernel can usually be found in a package called
`linux` and is usually installed from the start or in the recommended setup.
### Zen-Version: `linux-zen`
The zen kernel is a collaborative project of kernel hackers to provide the best
[Linux](/wiki/linux.md) kernel for everyday systems.
Especially the response time of the system under load
[is said to be better](https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel/wiki/Detailed-Feature-List#zen-kernel-improvements).
This will - for example - make the system less stuttery when something is compiled.
Desktop and gaming systems will benefit the most.
To setup the zen kernel do the following. Firstly install the packages `linux-zen` and
`linux-zen-header`.
Afterwards open the file `boot/loader/entries/arch.conf` and change the following lines.
```txt
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
```
To look like the following lines.
```txt
linux /vmlinuz-linux-zen
initrd /initramfs-linux-zen.img
```
Afterwards the system should be rebooted for the change to take effect.
