OTOH, uname on Leap lists PREEMPT. So maybe the low latency RT timers are enabled? Even my ancient 12.3 -desktop kernel lists PREEMPT. If you look at the differences between desktop and default kernels you will find that both TIMERS and PREEMPT are set in both desktop and default versions.
So, two questions remain: Basil, I thought we went through that already?
Did we? I don't recall.
1) why was kernel-desktop created? and It was introduced in openSUSE 11.2, about six years ago. I can only presume it was an attempt to make the desktop more responsive.
Thank you- "....make the desktop more responsive".
2) why not leave kernel-desktop as the default kernel for oS 'Leap of Faith' as it has been for years as the default kernel for openSUSE xx.y? AFAICT, because it would mean creating a new kernel-desktop as SLE doesn't have one. That's Michael Marek wrote when he proposed the idea.
Sorry, does not make any sense: "...would mean creating a new kernel-desktop.." because kernel-desktop has been around, as you state, for the past 6 years. But, " ....as SLE doesn't have one." is a totally different proposition! I don't give a tinker's cuss what SLE has or does not have. I only worry about openSUSE and what it has and should have. Question: why the heck should openSUSE have to use the kernel-default as the default kernel on installation when SLE could simply adopt kernel-desktop - which has been the default installation kernel for the past 6 years as you say - as its default kernel? Or, alternatively, the question: why do not rename kernel-desktop with its present settings as kernel-default?
