Gaming rig: Desktop or Handheld, recommendation?

[naim]

@hairlesscaveman

is the Handheld edition specifically tuned to reduce power usage?

Yes, it enables lazy RCU by default and uses the lavd scheduler by default which tries to save power by using less cores.

@hairlesscaveman

does the Desktop edition have the same power-saving settings by default?

No.

@hairlesscaveman

are there any tools that can quickly remove the power-saving features across the OS, rather than going through the manual process I’ve been following?

You can try disabling rcu lazy and disable lavd. Guides on how to enable rcu lazy is available in the wiki, just change 1 to 0.

@hairlesscaveman

are there any services or tweaks that especially shouldn’t use, while trying to squeeze out as much performance from this setup as possible? (eg. bpftune)

gamemoderun shouldn’t be used, because it conflicts with ananicy-cpp.
