The CachyOS team has tested the BORE scheduler without the Ananicy-CPP system, which managed priorities and caused stuttering in games. By disabling it, they noticed an improvement in sequential disk writes, but no significant changes in overall performance. The enthusiast community celebrates it as a breakthrough, although the data shows a marginal impact.
Between the hype and the technical reality of the process scheduler 🧐
The test reveals that removing Ananicy-CPP reduces latency in certain disk operations, but does not significantly alter gaming performance. Stuttering in demanding titles usually originates from graphics drivers or the game's own optimization, not the process scheduler. CachyOS, as a niche distribution, seeks headlines with experimental configurations that no ordinary user would notice. The real bottleneck remains Valve and NVIDIA/AMD drivers.
CachyOS discovers that turning things off improves... something 🔧
The finding is as revolutionary as discovering that if you unplug the refrigerator, you stop hearing its hum. Sure, disabling Ananicy-CPP can alleviate a stutter here and there, but it also opens the door to other latency issues. So now you know: if your game runs poorly, don't blame the kernel, just turn off everything you can. After all, stability is for the weak.
