Is the system76 scheduler better?

What optimizations does it have?

Yea

Interesting. I knew that they had their own scheduler, but I didn’t realize it was widely regarded as better than stock

SSofie seems like https://github.com/linuxmobile/hyprland-dots has good starter things

EyeCantCU•7/27/23, 3:27 PM

Ugh, wish I could use hyprland/sway

EEyeCantCU Ugh, wish I could use hyprland/sway

Sofie•7/27/23, 3:28 PM

Why? Do you have nvidia?

EyeCantCU•7/27/23, 3:28 PM

No magnification option that works for me

Sofie•7/27/23, 3:29 PM

ah ok

Sofie•7/27/23, 3:29 PM

create your own

EyeCantCU•7/27/23, 3:29 PM

Heh.... maybe

EyeCantCU•7/27/23, 3:29 PM

Would be a fun project

EEyeCantCU Would be a fun project

Sofie•7/27/23, 3:29 PM

yea

EyeCantCU•7/27/23, 3:30 PM

Last I looked into it though (at least for sway) It has to be dependent on the window versus desktop because of something with wlroots. I'll have to read up on it again

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 3:53 PM

it's still using CFQ

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 3:53 PM

no kernel patches at all

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 3:53 PM

All it does is disable bundling (so nice values can work)

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 3:54 PM

and then use a rule system and DE plugin to set nice values on applications based on rules and which window is focused

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 3:54 PM

lastly, it tunes CFQ to the default settings on battery, and the Zen settings on power

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 3:54 PM

the builds in my copr tune it to use the Linux-TKG CFQ settings instead of Zen

Sofie•7/27/23, 3:58 PM

Hey @KyleGospo How would I enable "system76-scheduler", do I just copy the files you mentioned to /usr/etc/... here on my repo?

SSofie Hey @KyleGospo How would I enable "system76-scheduler", do I just copy the files...

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 3:58 PM

won't need any files at all, just install from copr and enable the service

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 3:58 PM

see bazzite's containerfile

KKyle Gospo won't need any files at all, just install from copr and enable the service

Sofie•7/27/23, 3:58 PM

ah so they are not needed?

Sofie•7/27/23, 3:59 PM

the zram-generator etc.

Sofie•7/27/23, 3:59 PM

files

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 3:59 PM

specifically for system76-scheduler

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 3:59 PM

the others each do their own little things

KKyle Gospo the others each do their own little things

Sofie•7/27/23, 3:59 PM

ah so they dont "hurt"?

KKyle Gospo won't need any files at all, just install from copr and enable the service

Sofie•7/27/23, 4:00 PM

what if i use the recipe.yml file?

Sofie•7/27/23, 4:01 PM

can i just add them to the dockerfile?

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 4:01 PM

yea

KKyle Gospo yea

Sofie•7/27/23, 4:06 PM

ok good, does the line matter?

Sofie•7/27/23, 4:06 PM

and exacly what do i add

KKyle Gospo the builds in my copr tune it to use the Linux-TKG CFQ settings instead of Zen

WaffleophagusOP•7/27/23, 4:07 PM

A lot of this low level stuff is really new to me.

Sofie•7/27/23, 4:08 PM

is it just

RUN systemctl enable system76-scheduler

RUN systemctl enable system76-scheduler

Sofie•7/27/23, 4:09 PM

@KyleGospo

SSofie is it just ```docker RUN systemctl enable system76-scheduler ```?

EyeCantCU•7/27/23, 4:10 PM

That'll do it

EEyeCantCU That'll do it

Sofie•7/27/23, 4:10 PM

ok good!

EyeCantCU•7/27/23, 4:10 PM

It's installed right?

EEyeCantCU It's installed right?

Sofie•7/27/23, 4:10 PM

yea

EyeCantCU•7/27/23, 4:10 PM

Okay

Sofie•7/27/23, 4:10 PM

also

Sofie•7/27/23, 4:10 PM

could you help with this? https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1084120222400774325/1134140475272605716

I was thinking for the system76-scheduler service, does that need to be layered or can it instead run inside a container and by passing through the host dbus socket?

Xxkrith I was thinking for the system76-scheduler service, does that need to be layered ...

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 7:00 PM

I haven't tried, but applications like btop work great in a container

Kyle Gospo•7/27/23, 7:00 PM

it's fairly likely it'd work fine

KKyle Gospo it's fairly likely it'd work fine

xkrith•7/27/23, 7:27 PM

it seems to work if I pass

/run/dbus/system_bus_socket

/run/dbus/system_bus_socket

into the container, although I had to create

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/com.system76.Scheduler.conf

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/com.system76.Scheduler.conf

on the host first

Is the system76 scheduler better?
