I want to know the tradeoffs between the different schedulers available, or if I should even bother at all.
The CachyOS wiki has a great section discussing the different schedulers and their possible use cases. What will suit your needs most is a matter of experimentation i’m afraid.
I turn off Ananicy and enable the Bpfland scheduler. Works best for me.
Maybe A1RM4X youtube stream today with the title " What is the best Sched-EXT for gaming? TESTING!" is something for you to check out…
