Nitrux uses the Liquorix kernel, described as “an enthusiast Linux kernel designed for uncompromised responsiveness in interactive systems, enabling low latency in A/V production, and reduced frame time deviations in games.”

It also uses OpenRC instead of systemd. New in this release is kboot, a utility to switch kernels on-the-fly without needing a reboot, and VMetal, which allows users to run Windows in parallel to Nitrux to provide users of access to Windows software.

    Has anyone done an unbiased comparison of systems/openrc/whatever that compares each doing what it does best? So far the only difference is just me not having a clue how to do what I want when distro hopping.

        Cool I’ll check that out. I don’t think I’m at a level where the differences significantly affect me but I don’t really know what they are to begin with.

      I use Gentoo which originated openrc but also enables systemd.

      They’re both fine. Both will do the job. Systemd just can do more without additional packages or can be configured / built to be pretty minimal.
