Due to intel_pstate poor performances as of late, I have decided to set it to passive mode to make use of the acpi_cpufreq governors passthrough, keeping full support for turbo frequencies.

MuQSS and BMQ are not yet available options for this revision

A custom Linux kernel 5.8.y with specific PDS and CFS CPU schedulers related patchsets selector and added tweaks for a nice interactivity/performance balance, aiming for the best gaming experience.

PDS-mq was originally created by Alfred Chen : http://cchalpha.blogspot.com/

While he dropped it with kernel 5.1 in favor of its BMQ evolution/rework, my pretty bad gaming experiences with BMQ up to this point convinced me to keep PDS afloat for as long as it'll make sense/I'll be able to.

Various personalization options available and userpatches support (put your own patches in the same dir as the PKGBUILD, with the ".mypatch" extension.

Comes with a slightly modified Arch config asking for a few core personalization settings at compilation time. If you want to streamline your kernel config for lower footprint and faster compilations : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modprobed-db You can enable support for it at the beginning of the PKGBUILD file. Make sure to read everything you need to know about it.
