Scheduling service which optimizes Linux’s CPU scheduler and automatically assigns process priorities for improved desktop responsiveness.

    Based on their description, this sounds like they rewrote ananicy in rust and added some kernel tweaks. I worry about NIH syndrome, since ananicy already exists and the other optimizations described could literally be done with shell scripts and udev rules. But it’s a nice idea and tbh actually very useful for low-end hardware.

    I use more or less exclusively low-end hardware and for laptops/desktops without a lot of oomph being able to intelligently parcel out cpu time to applications that are actually a priority for the user is pretty important.

    This kind of optimization is probably useless on anything approaching decent hardware, however.
