the realtime kernel is basically discontinued. you can add it via ppa, or
build it yourself. if you need the realtime kernel, you'll know, and seek
it out. what are its advantages? lowlatency. disadvantages? the things that
are compromised to provide lowlatency and audio priority can (and will)
change performance of other things, such as power management. to address
these differences between a normal, well supported, standard generic
kernel, and the realtime kernel, a compromise was introduced. the
lowlatency kernel is supposed to address these concerns, and provide an
appropriate kernel that can do realtime at lower latency settings without
the compromise in performance in other areas. if you are considering a
realtime kernel via PPA, keep in mind those sources are not officially
supported. there is no reason to remove any kernels. you can always keep
the lowlatency and the generic, as well as a realtime kernel from a ppa
installed, and choose between them at boot time from the grub menu. its
likely you dont need lowlatency at all. if you are doing realtime effects
or software synths as an instrument, you will want lower latency, but
really anything around or under 8ms is plenty. enjoy!
