[Feature Request] Add support for Realtime Kernels #5

Open aenertia opened 7 years ago

aenertia commented 7 years ago

Please add support for filtering/displaying Realtime Kernels.

teejee2008 commented 6 years ago

No plans to add support for RT or Low Latency kernels. Most users do not understand what these kernels are for and install them thinking that these are "faster". These kernels should not be used unless there is a specific need. Users who know what these kernels are for, and wish to install them, can always do so manually.

Seems a pretty simple addition. The Similar tool linux-kernel-utilities has support for RC and RT masking and unmasking.

teejee2008 commented 6 years ago

Please feel free to use any tool that meets your requirements. What I mentioned in the previous comment was that I won't be adding support for it in Ukuu.

@teejee2008 you could compromise by adding it as a hidden cmdline option. That way only people who explicitly started ukuu with that flag would ever see it. Not sure what anyone thinks there is a better tool out there. Have tried them all, none are as good as ukuu. And it would be bad for everybody to add the feature by forking your software.

@dreamcat4 Somebody has to do the work to add support for this. This feature is not useful for me. If you are interested in this feature, please make the changes and submit a PR.
