Kernel

The Linux 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 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 kernel for everyday systems. Especially the response time of the system under load is said to be better. 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.

linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img

To look like the following lines.

linux /vmlinuz-linux-zen
initrd /initramfs-linux-zen.img

Afterwards the system should be rebooted for the change to take effect.
