Anybody out there using this? Thinking of trying it on my older thinkpad.
5 comments

I use it on my w530. It feels fast and responsive, but I haven't done a proper test or anything.

One of the good things it's that includes patches that allow Anbox to run so I can use Android apps.

The Anbox support is a big plus. Do you find it is actually fast enough for daily use of any android apps? I have one I use all the time on a tablet, but have not had luck getting a performant solution on my laptop.
I hear it doesn't yield considerable differences on beefier hardware, but you can tell the difference on older stuff. Thinkpad may benefit.

Note that Liqourix is not the Zen kernel though.

I'm using Pop!_OS, I dont know if I have the update installed or not. For me Pop!_OS is the best distro, since Fedora keeps bugging me out. I'm mostly a RHEL person.
I use Zen on a newer Thinkpad T14, but I feel there is a difference. Applications like Firefox and Intellij feel snappier than with the standard Kernel.
I use it on a "just works" Garuda install. No issues for it that i haven't experienced with standard Linux
