Explanation gameperformance

General

Hi,

I just want to understand this thing about gameperformance:

Blockquote
When this script is used to run a game, the system will be set to use the performance profile as long as the game is running. The previously used power profile will be restored once the game is closed. Feral’s GameMode has similar behavior but it should not be used as CachyOS ships with ananicy-cpp.

Can someone explain to me why gamemode cannot be used with ananicy-cpp and what does ananicy do exactly?

ananicy-cpp is an auto renicing daemon that changes each processes niceness based on deifned rules. gamemode also attempts to do this when a program is ran with it, hence the conflict.

Also, I’m pretty sure that the renicing in gamemode is broken but someone can correct me. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the answer, but can you tell me or point me to what renicing means?
