Build Types Explained:

Q: Bliss builds come with funny names. Why?

A: Because we felt the need to include the various branches for Kernel, Mesa, & Firmware in the build name.

So, when you see a name like this:

Bliss-v11.1-Beta-x86_64-OFFICIAL-20181018-1457_kernel-4.9_m18.3.0-devel_w40_LLVM70_dev-kernel.org.iso

It can be broken into 3-4 parts.

Build ID: "Bliss-v11.1-Beta-x86_64-OFFICIAL-20181018-1457"

Kernel Branch: "_kernel-4.9"

Mesa Branch: "_m18.3.0-devel_w40_LLVM70"

Firmware Branch: "_dev-kernel.org"

Q: What do the parts of the kernel names mean?

A: When we add a batch of commits to the kernels, we like to save that version with an identifier. So the most common parts to the kernel names are as follows:

-ax86 : Means that this kernel started off from the Android-x86 repo, or has the majority of Chih Wei's commits for that kernel

-ma : Means this started out from Maurossi's repo. (https://github.com/maurossi/linux)

-gal : Means that this kernel also includes compatibility with Chromebook devices, from the peeps at Gallium OS (https://github.com/GalliumOS/linux)

-ipts : Means that we are including some specific commits for the Intel IPTS touchscreens (mostly in the Surface line of devices) These builds likely won't run well on most other devices.

Q: OK, So I have a BlahBlah CPU, with a Such'n'such GPU, what builds are right for me?

A: Well, we have a method to all our madness there. We build Bliss OS with different kernels that work as a way to make it more compatible with different types of devices. Here is the breakdown on those:

Kernel-4.9 These are considered the most "Stable" builds, they will work across most older and recent devices.

Kernel-4.12-14 builds will be hard to come by, but seem to work great for some newer Atom based devices.

Kernel 4.15+ builds will not work on some older devices, so consider these to be a little less "All-In-One"

Kernel 4.18+ Intended for newer devices. adds some newer touchscreen support and added AMDGPU support

kernel 4.19+ Intended for newer devices. Even more touchscreen support and ACPI support

Kernel 4.20+ Intended for newer devices. Even more touchscreen support and added ARM/ATOM support and Vega GPU support

Kernel 5.0+ This is where things will start getting tricky. Even more touchscreen support, and added support for ARM/ARM64/ATOM etc, but also a ton of Android kernel commits start making their way into things.
