high-frequency scheduling. The kernel facilitates faster speeds and features a more optimized scheduler.

```
4. once concluded you will have a file that you will have to install using the command:
```bash
sudo pacman -U linux-zen-6.2.12.zen1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
```
5. finished the installation reboot, and check with the following command if the installation was successful:
```bash
uname -r
```
