A gaming-friendly custom Linux kernel

There are multiple CPU schedulers you can choose from in -tkg:

  • PDS - Best all-arounder. Gives the highest performance on HT/SMT and high core count CPUs.
  • MuQSS - Good scheduler for non-HT CPUs up to quadcores.
  • BMQ - PDS's young brother. Doesn't yet give the same performance levels overall, but evolving fast.
  • CFS - Stock Linux kernel CPU scheduler. Best throughput at the cost of interactivity. Usually not great for gaming, but it comes with a few tweaks in -tkg to perform better in such workloads.

PDS-mq & BMQ : http://cchalpha.blogspot.com/ While using PDS, priority policies might induce thrashing in memory-starved scenarios. Using https://github.com/tobixen/thrash-protect (available on AUR as well) can help with that on low memory systems.

MuQSS : http://ck-hack.blogspot.com/

Just like for other packages available in this repo, you can put your own custom profiles in ~/.config/frogminer/ with the kernel package base name followed by .cfg extension (I.E. "linux51-tkg.cfg" for 5.1 kernel).
