    Yeah sure, roll your own for everything, which has worked so great for Canonical in the past. Repeating mistakes other companies have made is nearly as dumb as repeating one’s own mistakes.

    There’s already lots of different Desktop schedulers with varied levels of performance, there’s gamemode and Linux on the desktop already has less overhead than Windows.

    The Arch wiki has a list of software which already does this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Improving_performance#Adjusting_priorities_of_processes

    Pure NIH syndrome.

      I mean, Solus rolled their own and are doing fine. The problem was that Ubuntu was so focused on the server market that they completely abandoned the desktop and didn’t want to sink a bunch of development costs into Unity and Mir.
