Nitro or Love?

None of them.
Use -ck. If you _need_ any other patch, just apply it yourself.

ciaranm, you don't need to go on a crusade against nitro. If someone wants to use it, let them.

Good point. It just seems like your being unnecessarily hostile, even if what you say is absolutely true (which it is).

I have never recommended that anyone use nitro. In fact, when asked on my gaming howto threads, I recommend ck.

ciaranm, I apologize if you're seeing unnecessary bugs due to nitro-sources, but that's pretty much out of my control. I make sure that all users know not to go near bugzilla with any issues resulting from usage of this patchset.

EDIT:
dcrook: Your response made my day. Thank you.

I'm using the Nitro-Sources since I re-installed Gentoo november last year and I never had had any problems, crashes or freezes with the kernel. For me it works great and faster than all other kernels I testet before.

Rock On Nitro!

Both really take a performance hit, Why? Because when your system freezes you actually spend more time recovering from that then you do from the slight performance increase you can get (it wasn't anything too dramatic).

I think it's worth *testing* out both, maybe you'll like it.. Both seem to have some nice goodies in them, but for stability, it's always a good idea to stick with the kernel from the developers who know how to make a kernel all good n' stable, gentoo-sources and gentoo-dev-sources usually fare well with me.

I've used love-sources since they were there and allways loved them, because i had a really bad notebook at that time.

Now i've used nitro for a while, because staircase is a great scheduler, and ck-sources when nitro was not running

Problem is, staircase seems to be stable now and there are no more wonders to expect.

love-sources have the genetic optimisation feature for nicksched. maybe thats just the next big thing.

I have a machine running love and my last two uptimes were 191 and 190 days respectively. That's over a year of love with only 2 reboots, and the reboots were to upgrade the kernel to a new love version. I use nitro on my desktop machine though, and my uptime right now is 14 days since I first booted up the kernel. I play games almost daily, compile all the time, etc. Maybe I'm just lucky with the whole stability thing, but usually when a kernel is messing up I rollback a version and stick with that or I wait for a new one to address the issue(s).

For the amount of flaming and negativity some of you kids give, you'd think you're getting paid to badmouth hobby-kernels.

gentoo_lan: It was going to be removed regardless of your ranting. We don't keep broken features, and something that only works for half the users is considered a broken feature.

Naturally this will prompt someone to call reiser4 a broken feature. I eagerly await it.

EDIT: Don't bother telling me that reiser4 is considered broken. I am already aware of this. That's why I don't use it.

This is an interesting but somewhat strange thread.

What makes me frown in the fact that several forum-mebers and developers seem to hate nitro-source with passion.

What ist the issue behind it?

I like those kernel sandboxes like love- or nitro-sources because they toy around, brake something first and fix it afterwards, report problems to the kernel-dev's, and ...
I think this is good for the kernel-development.

Personally i stick to gentoo-sources (sometimes vanilla) and im am happy with it.
