| 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%
Note that some functionalities, like modifying the CPU governor, require
the user to be in the priviledged "gamemode" group.

whole process rather than just the thread that
requests GameMode.
