What Kernel are you guys using?

I have seen some people claiming that custom kernels like zen cachyos offer better battery life and performance.

Is it true ?

Usually whatever comes stock with the distro—though one device is currently running a custom built kernel with some Linux TV patches because the patches are only available on x86 builds currently, and I've got the tuner that needs them attached to a pi zero 2

You custom built a kernel on a pi 0 v2? You must have next level patience.

Oh no, don't worry I cross compiled it on my desktop! I imagine the pi would crash before it completed the job

Oh damn that's also really cool! I've had a hard time with that and gave up.
