zen-kernel VS systemd-stable

Linux is configurable. If you don't want it to freeze up, configure it so it wont https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel

What do you mean fingers in the pie? And for liquorix the four people are only the ones involved in the packaging, you'll notice that they just include one huge monolithic patch here https://github.com/damentz/liquorix-package/tree/6.1/master/linux-liquorix/debian/patches/zen and to see what is inside that and whose fingers are in there you need to look into https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel and you have exactly the same situation as with xanmod with your 13k contributors.

It seems like the zen kernel "doesn't use" the same version as the upstream kernel (default). I think for now it is still on 6.0.12: https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel

Officially supported kernels Community support on forum and bug reporting is available for officially supported kernels. Stable — Vanilla Linux kernel and modules, with a few patches applied. https://www.kernel.org/ || linux Hardened — A security-focused Linux kernel applying a set of hardening patches to mitigate kernel and userspace exploits. It also enables more upstream kernel hardening features than linux. https://github.com/anthraxx/linux-hardened || linux-hardened Longterm — Long-term support (LTS) Linux kernel and modules. https://www.kernel.org/ || linux-lts Zen Kernel — Result of a collaborative effort of kernel hackers to provide the best Linux kernel possible for everyday systems. Some more details can be found on https://liquorix.net (which provides kernel binaries based on Zen for Debian). https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel || linux-zen

@OP So yeah on Linux we don't have NVE which i'm kinda glad about for various reasons. But we have gamemode (sorry for the ArchWiki entry on it) and custom kernels like Zen. If you opt to install the Zen Kernel ALWAYS keep a regular Kernel as backup, just in case.

I was afraid that disabling dm-crypt workqueues caused it: https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel/issues/282

Most of the new features are being done in separate daemons from the init. The lines of code relevant to only the init are in src/core, so your comparison would probably only make sense if you compared that folder.

>Lennart just keeps adding to systemd and refuses to say when he will finally stop adding to it.

I'm not sure I understand, most projects only stop adding code when development is done. So the answer would probably be "when people stop using it." Are you a distro maintainer? If you want a stable version with fixes backported, you can use this: https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable

>How many skilled humans on this planet are available to audit those 600k+ lines of systemd code and are actually auditing it? (And how many work for intelligence agencies?)

I'm not sure I understand this either, are you asking how many C programmers there are in the world that are able to perform code review on a C program for Unix like systemd? And what subset of those C programmers work for intelligence agencies? It might be worth answering those questions, but I'm not sure how that is related to systemd specifically.
