Thanks predatorfreak, I thought that might be the case.

It doesn't really matter which patchset you use, as long as you use it for a desktop PC. For that matter I prefer -ck or at least -ck based kernels. My apps become more responsive, which I do need, since I enjoy recording my guitar.

Vanilla doesn't always work for me perfect enough. But I guess if I had configured it a bit differently than I'm used to, it might have worked better. nitro-sources is unfortunately very unstable for me. Earlier it was fine, though. Same happened to love-sources. At the beginning they all worked nearly flawlessly and were - thank to the patches - a great extension to the default kernel. Now I just can't use it. It depends, I guess, on different hardware and configuration.

I wish this thread would just die. The only big difference between love and nitro is the fact that one now uses plugsched and mm as its base, and one uses ck as its base. Other than that, they provide nearly all of the same features. Unless, of course, this is referring to the developers of nitro and love themselves, in which case it's really just a thread about attacking other people. Or, again, unless this thread is really just another "mm or ck?" thread in disguise.
And I can make a post just for the purpose of saying that, especially since otw posts don't count towards postcount.

by the way :

ANY my love release isn't / wasn`t based on mm

a little mm in addition only (around 20 patches of 500 in full mm. so this is 1/25 of patches in mm)

so mm or ck isn't good question for current love and nitro because love isn't mm based
( no-sources is mm-based for ex. ) .

maybe nicksched or staircase , genetics or predictable hehehehe

ok , jokes out .
I want also to forget this thread ...really.

Also we still considering using of plugsched . Propably we`ll chose the 2.6.12-rc1 as pior way and maybe not using plugsched , also we are going to extend testing period , improve stablility ( cut "ricer" patches , cut unusefull stuff etc. )

fallow: When I said that love was mm based, I was referring to the fact that historically, that's how it has been. Plus, you do use more mm patches than other kernels

. I guess I jumped the gun a little on plugsched...

Maybe some kind moderator can lock this for us?

EDIT: Good point Earthwings. Nobody touch this! Nobody!

it was kind of a joke. Lovechild and I were going to do one at some point but he got angry with me and wouldn't speak to me for some reason so it never got done. Plus if i did do one it would have to be a staging ground for patches for the gentoo kernels so i could help out plasmaroo and dsd

Stay tuned, for at least a subjective answer tonight. . .
Here is a subjective kernel benchmark, until I finish the meat and potatoes of the app that will quantitatively measure this.

I first started using nitro source awhile back when doom3 was new. The reason i switched from gentoo-dev-sources to nitro was that gentoo-dev-sources at that time wasn't good enough, I can't remeber if they were too slow or did'nt work properly, but nitro solved the problem then. I have never had any problems wth nitro-sources when using kernel 2.6.10.-> but wanted to try ck sources and now use 2.6.11-ck2 without problems. I think many postings on this thread are rude and don't give the nitro devs. the respect and thanks they deserve for making a good kernel patch set. I realy hope the nitro devs. keep at it and overlook simple and rude comments from simple minds.

Thanks nitro devs. I think your work is appreciated by most.

I just read this thread about latest love and I think this beats nitro. Because there's also staircase in love now. So everyone can choose his favourite sheduler. What do you think of this? Is love now more flexible than nitro? Or does love have just too many patches because of this?
