The upstream non LTS kernels have had the mitigation for meltdown/spectre longer than LTS and they likely have more robust implementations. All Fedora releases have had fixes for some time.
I meant the clear linux kernel,they seem to have diff kernel bundles and i want to go with the Lts one.
To get your feet wet, you could build a standard Fedora kernel using one of these processes.
build-custom-kernel.html
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel/Source_RPM
Then, when you have that working, use the same procedure to build the clear linux kernel from source. That way you know that both compile individually.
The final step is just to ensure that once the Fedora kernel is patched to support clear linux, it compiles also. Then it will support the Fedora enhancements to the kernel that haven't made it upstream yet (and might never), and will run on any fedora system.
I don't know if the clear linux kernel is compatible with other architectures and video hardware. If it isn't, it can only be run on x86_64 with intel video hardware (no nvidia or amd additional video hardware). If it isn't compatible with other architectures or video hardware, I don't think it makes sense to compile it as a Fedora kernel, so you would be done after you get it building from source. Not sure how useful such a kernel would be. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.

The clear linux does run on amd hardware,at phoronix they tried it on the new eypec cpu line from amd. Performs well and wont hinder performance.
hardware, I don't think it makes sense to compile it as a Fedora kernel, so you would be done after you get it building from source. Not sure how useful such a kernel would be.
No nvidia or amd gpu support though.But for those who want pure computing power for containers etc this can be a solid option,it does perform much better than other linux distro kernels.
I find this interesting,and a fun learning experience to get my feet wet.
