Ananicy VS s76-scheduler-plugin

For anyone using CPU or IO intensive programs, you can also keep using your desktop, with Cachy OS kernel or Bore scheduler/kernel and Ananicy or ananicy-cpp. Happy gentoo user here, compiling for hours while listening to music/browsing without hiccups.

You might want to get ananicy. It's a daemon that automatically sets the niceness values of processes for better realtime performance. Basically sets the priority of processes you probably care about (like your DE/WM) higher than that of those you probably don't (like a compiler).

https://github.com/Nefelim4ag/Ananicy Ananicy (ANother Auto NICe daemon) — is a shell daemon created to manage processes' IO and CPU priorities, with community-driven set of rules for popular applications.

Having taken a look at the daemon, it actually reminds of Ananicy. I'm not familiar with 'Gamemode' so I cannot compare but anyways, this seems to be focused in laptops primarily, something that Tuned isn’t either. It’s going to be a nice thing to have around.

You can enable Ananicy with the command systemctl enable --now ananicy.service so that the service always runs, even after a reboot of the computer. The tool then applies the existing rules (https://github.com/Nefelim4ag/Ananicy/tree/master/ananicy.d/00-default) to various programmes such as Steam. If necessary, you can also create or adapt your own rules.

There is also ananicy, billed as, er, 'another auto-nice demon'.

You might want to get ananicy/nohang, or a system oomd killer to better optimise cpu processes and priorities to prevent this.

If you want to automatize this you can use ananicy,it has rules for each program and when you open a program (a game for example),it applies the nice values and IO bounds automatically,you can modify the .rules and create in case the program you have doesn't exist.
