I think the right path forward is work with the Debian guys to have a deb for 2.9 branch published in the debian repos.


There is work currently being done to achieve this.

Awesome news Phill. We really need a Debian 11 deb file available before then though.

I do have a problem with the Latency test on Debian 11 (with 2.9), the value is around 90000 ns, with Debian 10 (2.8.2) the Latency is around 15000 ns.

It may  not work for your hardware, but open grub-customizer and replace
quiet
with
quiet isolcpus=1,2,3 idle=poll
 

This dropped latency from 183k to 22k for my J1900 with xfce GUI
installing Mate increased it to 86k whch is still OK for a Mesa card.

That's interesting re Xfce v's Mate.  I guess I should have expected it but that is quite a delta.  I might need ot try Xfce on my HP T730 at some point and see how it behaves.   I'm getting circa 40k with Mate installed and the cpu isolation in place.

These things do seem to be dependent on your h/w.  Even after applying the kernel boot options Rod mentions.
I have tested Debian 10 and various flavours of RT kernel version and 2.8 or 2.9 on some kit and found the only way I could get decent latency (i.e. substantially sub 100k) was to use Mint19 with a 4.x RT kernel.

So if things are not to your liking using Debain you can get good results by using other Linux flavours.  You just need to be prepared to put the time in to experiment.

I was thinking afterwards it might not be all mate becasue I have also added a FTP server and a XRDP server to it as well before adding Mate.. Maybe they've added a bit of a hit.
This method makes the change trivial...

the XRDP server will be the one most likely to create a hit  SSH/FTP are very light weight.
