For those interested, the AUR package is

scx-scheds

It appears you can change the scheduler on the fly so I will definitely try it. There are more schedulers available as well.

There's a comment in the article that says you can improve performance drastically, hard to believe but we will see.

(e)BPF's sched_ext allows dynamically loading schedulers from user space, yes.

You do need a kernel with the sched-ext kernel option. Trying to install it right now.

Which version was that introduced in? 6.9?

[–] ogeist@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

It's not in the mainline, you need to either install the cachyos repo or compile the kernel with patches.
