I've avoided RT thus far because it was incompatible with KVM/QEMU. Am curious if this is still the case. Guess I can compile and install on my workstation and see
if my virtual machines still work.

I tested it with 6.11 and the performance was kind of bad but it could have been a one off. I'm generally happy with full preemption though.

I didn't even realize that this was a known problem.

I'd appreciate it if you could also let me know how it goes! I'm hoping that it just_works.™️ on your end🫡

I'm still a bit of a Linux noob but when I updated my kernel to the latest a few months ago it broke VMware and I couldn't get it to work again . I don't remember the exact errors at this point but I determined it was definitely a kernel issue . I'm using Ubuntu for now btw .
