    Hey Andy!

    I'm glad of that. :)

    Me too although some days are better than others. It's good to see you back in action.

    maybe in another 20 years we'll know the whole truth

    We'll see I suppose. One day at a time is where things are at now.

    What are you working on these days?

    You're looking at it right now. This is as good as it gets ... for
    now.

    k. How do you feel about the zen kernel?

    Hej Andy!

    How do you feel about the zen kernel?

    Up to now, I have no feelings for it one way or the other. At present I am sticking with the regular kernel source and gcc. I do have clang and rustc but never use it for anything other than to make things like firefox happy. Personally I can live without it especially considering github which I tend to avoid wherever possible.

    Maybe some future date but right now I am still having fun with gcc and the standard kernel sources obtained from kernel.org;

    <Esc>:read /proc/version
    Linux version 7.0.11 (root@europoint) (gcc (GCC) 16.1.1 20260601, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.46.0.20260210) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Jun 2 01:13:45 UTC 2026

    I have Manjaro on my desktop (MD Ryzen 7 5700G), which I use daily. I have a laptop that I use infrequently
    lately, that runs Arch and I've installed a zen kernel from the Arch repo. So basically, I haven't used it much
    or done any benchmarking. At this point in my life, I just don't know if I have a need for balance or less
    latency. ;) :)

    Hej Andy!

    I have Manjaro on my desktop (MD Ryzen 7 5700G), which I use daily.

    My main toy is a Ryzen 7 7840HS which is currently being used to reply to your reply to me. It is running a modified "Linux From Scratch".

    I have a laptop that I use infrequently lately, that runs Arch and
    I've installed a zen kernel from the Arch repo.

    I'd *really* like to see the output of /proc/version from that machine. As we speak mine shows;

    <Esc>:read /proc/version
    Linux version 7.0.12 (root@europoint) (gcc (GCC) 16.1.1 20260609, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.46.0.20260210) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Jun 9 22:10:20 UTC 2026

    I just don't know if I have a need for balance or less latency. ;) :)

    For me it has more to do with keeping myself busy having fun rather than sitting/laying around waiting for the worms.
