Note however that disabling SMT may have a significant performance impact --- [for this reason the popular linux‑hardened kernel for Arch does not disable SMT](https://github.com/anthraxx/linux-hardened/issues/37#issuecomment-619597365) by default. Assess your own risk tolerance, and, if you choose to keep SMT enabled, simply remove all occurrences of `nosmt` and `nosmt=force` from these parameters.

Kicksecure does not enforce either `module.sig_enforce=1` or `lockdown=confidentiality` by default as they lead to a lot of hardware compatibility issues; consider enabling these if possible on your system. Additionally, [`mce=0` is no longer recommended](https://forums.whonix.org/t/kernel-hardening/7296/493).

Consider adding `oops=panic` to the list of kernel parameters as well. This tells the kernel to panic when there are oops errors, thus preventing a broken process from being run. However, there may be some harmless errors generated by drivers, and these can cause the system to unexpectedly crash with this parameter.
