| Summary: Daemon/library combo for changing Linux system performance on demand | |
GameMode is a daemon/lib combo for Linux that allows games to request
a set of optimisations be temporarily applied to the host OS.
GameMode was designed primarily as a stop-gap solution to problems
with the Intel and AMD CPU powersave or ondemand governors, but is
now able to launch custom user defined plugins, and is intended to be
expanded further, as there are a wealth of automation tasks one might
want to apply.
For applications that don't implement the GameMode activation themselves,
you can toggle the GameMode by running them via the gamemoderun command.
gamemoderun ./game
For Steam games this can be done by editing the launch options:
gamemoderun %command%

* Wed May 10 2023 Matthias Bach <marix@marix.org> - 1.7
- Add a new gamemode binary package
* This provides gamemoderun and gamemodelist commands previously
provided via the gamemoded package. However, these actually
require libgamemodeauto0 which was missed.
* You can now install the gamemode package to get the full set
of GameMode functionality. Not being able to do this admittedly
was confusing as was reported in bsc#1211086.
- Add feral.keyring to enable verifying the source signature.
