EEVDF Scheduler On The Verge Of Being "Complete" (www.phoronix.com)

tl;dr EEVDF CPU scheduler that has replaced Linux's previous default scheduler (CFS), is close to completion. CPU schedulers can have a significant effect on performance and latency of various tasks.

It will be interesting to see how it compares to BORE which is what I use on my desktop systems. There's also the many workload specific schedulers that sched_ext allows for, but it's still not in mainline I believe.

For gaming PDS is king for stable frametimes and fast response times

Bore is close second

EEVDF is very good too

I also hope you're compiling with llvm and full lto for maximum snappiness
