What Kernel are you guys using?

I have seen some people claiming that custom kernels like zen cachyos offer better battery life and performance.

Is it true ?

Work PC: 6.1.0-12-amd64 (LMDE 6)
Personal: 6.8.0-38-generic (Mint 22)

Both are laptops. Both kernels from mainline. Both work fine, so I don't see any point in fudging around now that I found setup that work well for what I do.

Thank you.

I do some gaming and video editing. So, any extra performance would be great. 😅
