After simply swapping to their Link-Time Optimization kernel varent, I’m noticing a ~10% single and ~8% multi core geekbench scores improvement after repeated testing on my 10yo laptop: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/14141971?baseline=14145053 Over 5 consecutive trials in performance mode, results are relatively consistent: I’m als...
Appreciate the heads up. Looks like they use merge bots to auto update the package version JSON files for git packages, making for a very large/frequent commit history. Was that what made bisecting imposable?
I also see they pin the nixpkgs input, but do others normally modify that nixpkgs input to follow their global nixpkgs from their own system flake, or does that invalidate the use of Nyx community cache?
