In this guide, we will show you the steps to manually install the Kernel Sh in the service.d path. For tech enthusiasts, custom kernels are among the most powerful tools that they could have in their arsenal. From the most basic functions of maintaining a balance between performance, usability, and battery life to performing tweaks for overall improved IO scheduling latencies and Task scheduler tweaks for improved UI responsiveness, these kernels could do it all.
