    Right but switching to an RT kernel is trivial for basically any mainstream distro. You can do it from the package manager.

      True, I just wanted to clarify that by default Linux doesn’t run on an RT kernel.

      And tbh, an RT kernel is really not desirable for most applications, which is why it’s not default. All these RT guarantees cost a lot of performance, and in most cases a guaranteed latency is not worth losing performance over.

      In fact, using an RT kernel would be just the opposite of what you’d want on a gaming system.
