Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: Best Desktop Patchset for kernel

[Jared Lindsay]

Yep, nitro is "only" ck + bootsplash + some other stuff.  And guess what?  That's why I use  it, and not ck!  I have never had any problems with it, and I find it to be a better patchset than gentoo-sources.  I only wish it was updated more often, but the maintainer is pretty busy right now.

And I don't care a whole lot that nitro is unsupported.  The dev I asked on the issue simply said they don't want to have to provide support for tons of kernel patchsets, which I agree they shouldn't have to do.  I have also found that a lot of naysayers haven't even used nitro, or only used a much older version, which makes me skeptical.

Hi,

ok, coaranm aside - have you EVER seen a dev recommending love- or
nitro-sources?

I have not! Never! Never ever!

There seems to be a reason that a) no dev has recommended them so far and b)
they are not in portage.

And puulease.. nitro is nothing more than
ck+bootsplash+someotherunneededstuff.

If you want the 'latency enhancement' of nitro, go directly to ck - Con
Kolivas knows what he does.
