From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm running a custom kernel on my Arch laptop. It's a little faster, a little smaller and a little quite more secure. I'm also running custom kernel which enables adiantum encryption on old phone with postmarketOS.
How did you conduct this speed test? Where are the results? 😂
Sorry, I think this any time someone says their computer is faster or mod X on Android is "snappier"
I used geekbench 5. My CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 5500U. I tested a few prebuild kernels and custom compiled the fastest one.
