Feral-Interactive GameMode. Es una herramienta la cual hace la optimizacion automatica de la frecuencia de trabajo del procesado; entre otras cosas; facilitando de esta manera la mejor experiencia en juegos que GNU/Linux y el sistema pueda ofrecer. Actualmente esta como un programa independiente y que requiere de instlacion manual, pero se planea en un futuro cercano integrarlo en muchos de los juegos que salgan de esta distribuidora para este sistema operativo.
GameMode is a daemon/lib combo for Linux that allows games to request a set of optimisations be temporarily applied to the host OS.
The design has a clear-cut abstraction between the host daemon and library (gamemoded and libgamemode), and the client loaders (libgamemodeauto and gamemode_client.h) that allows for safe use without worrying about whether the daemon is installed or running. This design also means that while the host library currently relies on systemd for exchanging messages with the daemon, it's entirely possible to implement other internals that still work with the same clients.
GameMode was designed primarily as a stop-gap solution to problems with the Intel and AMD CPU powersave or ondemand governors, but is intended to be expanded beyond just CPU governor states, as there are a wealth of automation tasks one might want to apply.
Components
gamemoded runs in the background, activates game mode on request, refcounts and also checks caller PID lifetime. Accepts -d (daemonize) and -l (log to syslog).
libgamemode is an internal library used to dispatch requests to the daemon. Note: libgamemode should never be linked with directly.
libgamemodeauto is a simple dynamic library that automatically requests game mode when loaded. Useful to LD_PRELOAD into any game as needed.
gamemode_client.h is as single header lib that lets a game request game mode and handle errors.
Pues de hecho estaria mejor en juegos PC que es de lo que se trata, pero como a veces son algo 'especiales' decidi meterlo en general. En software libre, aunque realmente no es 'tan libre', temo que se pierda, pero igual podria ser una opcion.
