Hello nbah,

To compile your own kernel: https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/kernels-make-your-own/

To change your kernel to use BFQ scheduler as default: https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/how-to-use-the-bfq-io-scheduler/

For items to disable or remove: debugging, quotas, timer frequencies, extra loops, extra ramdisks, and about 200 more. I may try to make a list of items I have changed in my personal build for others to try when time permits.

My 0bjectives are to isolate and optimize the linux kernel for my system. (dell studio 1737). So far, I have taken 5-6 seconds off of my boot time. Applications open way faster. Using BFQ Scheduler instead of the default seems to allow for quicker and more stable operations while performing background operations like video editing.

To get the source package to build your own kernel: http://repo.antixlinux.com/stretch/pool/main/l/ This is for antiX specifically. Latest antiX kernel is 4.15.14 This is a good place to start.
–
And for latest linux kernel build: https://www.kernel.org/ You will find much information here. Latest stable is 4.16.3 Latest unstable is 4.17rc-1 – This is working on my laptop and provides significant improvements in speed. 200,000 lines of obsolete code removed in 4.17rc-1

All latest kernels are patched for Spectre exploits.lspci -k in terminal will show all kernel modules.
dmesg in terminal provides boot information for system parameters.

This should get you started if I understand you correctly.

Both file systems are enabled by default, and should not matter as far as kernel usage is concerned. I use EXT4 for now.
