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 ?

zen and lts as fallback

iirc zen has a scheduler that is supposed to be better for single user multitask desktop situations, while the regular kernel scheduler is better for server workloads.

Do you have any data to show it actually is better?

Desktop and server workloads aren't that different in practice.
