From b637e7fc02aecbfa4655c48f19b80412e9d83ad4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nate Graham Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 16:26:17 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Return to the vanilla kernel Our choice of the Zen kernel was a bit random and speculative. So far we have a report that it hurts something, and no reports that it helps anything. Over time the differences between the Zen kernel and the vanilla one have dwindled, and I can barely find an up-to-date list of the differences without looking through source code. I would consider the upstream vanilla sources to be safer and more trustworthy, and I expect will be much easier to get through shim review. Let's return to them.
