@ -26,6 +26,9 @@ Comes with a slightly modified Arch config asking for a few core personalization
If you want to streamline your kernel config for lower footprint and faster compilations : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modprobed-db
You can optionally enable support for it at the beginning of the PKGBUILD file. **Make sure to read everything you need to know about it as there are big caveats making it NOT recommended for most users**.
**Note regarding kernels older than 5.9 on Archlinux:**
**Since the switch to zstd compressed initramfs by default, you will face an "invalid magic at start of compress" error by default. You can workaround the issue by editing `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf` to uncomment the `COMPRESSION="lz4"` (for example, since that's the best option after zstd) line and regenerating for all kernels with `sudo mkinitpcio -P`.**
## Other stuff included:
- Graysky's per-CPU-arch native optimizations - https://github.com/graysky2/kernel_gcc_patch
- memory management and swapping tweaks
