Snakeoil Installer - 1.2.0 (Gear Isolation)

[koko6969koki]

Just for your information, i installed a low latency kernel "liquorix" (https://liquorix.net/) on snakoil. Result is quite better in terms of SQ (better transparency, expand sound image and quickness improved),

This was my next question!

If I understand correctly, the older SnakeOil versons prior to 1.2.0 all used the custom tweaked RT kernel,
and the new 1.2.0 version is just installed on top of the regular Ubuntu, without any kernel tweaks?



 

That's great to hear. There are two major obstacles that may hinder the SQ:

1. Unnecessary services/processes running
   
   
2. Kernel
   
   

The first release of Gear Isolation is focused on getting the infrastructure and the new design up and working. Although early, great to see positive results so far. With this out of the way now, I can then focus on the above two. Now that will require more work to the WebApp, and a new website for kernel building. Unsure how long that'll take though.

It is reassuring to hear that, at some point in the future, there are plans for a custom kernel like in the previous versions, together with further system/processes optimizations.
