I was on zen kernel, then went back to regular latest. Now I find this article: [Linux Kernels - 4 Different Types of Kernels Explained - LinuxForDevices](https://www.linuxfordevices.com/tutorials/linux/linux-kernels) and I’m wondering: Should I go back to zen for the performance? How much power cost are we talking, here?
