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 ?

Generally special kernels aren't going to perform any better than the main kernel. Actually they will likely perform worse.

The reason is that Linux is constantly being optimized to get better performance. If there were any performance benefits in a special kernel they would be ported to main. Special kernels are designed for very specific use cases.
