Possible to install Low Latency RT Kernel?

Hi,
Is is possible to install a low latency RT Kernel on dietpi?
If yes, would appreciate if someone could tell me how.

Thanks.

There is no DietPi own kernel. We mainly use RPi, Armbian, vendor or mainline kernel. But this depends on your device.

I use dietpi on a PC with an Intel Xeon CPU.
Do any of the ones listed have low latency or Realtime kernels?
Thanks

Can I install this one: Debian -- Details of package linux-image-5.10.0-29-rt-amd64 in bullseye
with the following command ?

apt-get install linux-image-5.10.0-29-rt-amd64

better doing it without version tag

apt update
apt install linux-image-rt-amd64

Great thanks.
How do I check if its installed, once I’ve run the command and will it boot in to this at reboot?

Ran the command and got this:

Generating grub configuration file …
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-21-rt-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-21-rt-amd64
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-21-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-21-amd64
Warning: os-prober will not be executed to detect other bootable partitions.
Systems on them will not be added to the GRUB boot configuration.

done

Uname -a gave me:

Linux DietPi 6.1.0-21-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.90-1 (2024-05-03)

Just need to figure if it will boot in to this kernel on reboot automatically

It stays on boot but my CPU temps have gone up.
Is that normal?

Sorry I’m not able to answer this as I don’t use native pc nor RT kernel

No problem. After some time it settled down and temps are now normal.
Thank you for all your help.

I had one more question - Is it possible to load the OS to RAM (like Ramroot in Archlinux)?

We don’t have this functionality build in. Something you need to create on your own.
