GitHub - supersonic-xserver/sslinuX-4.20: SuperSonicLinuX 4.20 "People's Front" continuation of debian buster 4.19 LTS with modern features from 6.14, 6.19, and 7+ · GitHub been trying to get this working on OM but i keep getting magic code errors for sig failure on my steamdeck and desktop it loads in a virtual machine but not real hardware quite yet. I remember bero really wanted a linux fork and lets take gregkh the real steward of linux kernel version that linux BLOCKED going around his authority at debian and made it revert. this version is the ultimate point in the kernel history to me because it was the last point before covid when everything got mucked up by remote work and the whole world changing. Plus the name is totally awesome they had people’s front i adore it and want to keep the people’s front working as a performance alternative kernel that has less bloated kernel modules the deck or gaming user wouldnt need
its custom made new version of 4.20 based on the 2024 4.19.y it only has a 2 year gap for cve and i patched for a majority just need to do fragnesia and disable more kernel modules. i used wd-40 on the linux kernel i like where its going we have ntsync and stuff working in VM. im at a roadblock using it on baremetal however the kernel sig system keeps trying to compare the bzImage to the older 2019 4.20.0 instead of treating my version as unique. then it fails to boot on steamdeck. it runs on the deck via vm containers but not as the host quite yet. it does have a lot less bloat than current 7.1 but it has a majority of the features that actually improved performance for games. even TCPfast protocol for gaming is in there check out the commit history. im working on CI to generate PR of gregkh cve patches almost everything hes done cleanly merges on this.
One of the major advantages of working on the deck, is that it’s a (relatively) fixed hardware platform.
So I would imagine you could pull a crapton of stuff out. Linux-Libre and only add in what you need.
If anyone uses anything from this user we will absolutely not provide you with any support. Your system will most definitely end up broken if you do.
