Linux Lite Kernel

[Mountain Giant]

What is difference between Linux Lite and generic kernels? Because version numbers are different than on official site.

Official long term 5.15.63
Linux Lite 5.15.0-47

Kernel Image sizes growth through the versions...

Code:

Kernel              Date                  Size
==============================================
linux-1.0.tar.xz    13-Mar-1994 00:00    918K
linux-2.0.1.tar.xz  03-Jul-1996 00:00      4M
linux-3.0.1.tar.xz  05-Aug-2011 06:18     61M
linux-4.0.1.tar.xz  29-Apr-2015 08:31     78M
linux-5.0.1.tar.xz  10-Mar-2019 06:12    100M
linux-6.0.5.tar.xz  26-Oct-2022 11:03    128M

Our Linux Lite Kernels are now using the latest compression methods in Kernel 6+

Previous compression (gzip) built the image package out to 198mb, the new (zstd) compression brings it in at 114mb.

That's good news!
What about the speed of processing (compress/decompress)?

Best regards!

The growth ratio is 142,77:1 !!

With Kernels growing year in year out, Gzip would fill our repository server at nearly double the rate. Zstd gives us much more time before needing to scale up on storage space.
