Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

GameMode is a daemon/lib combo for Linux that allows games to request a set of optimisations be temporarily applied to the host OS. GameMode was designed primarily as a stop-gap solution to problems with the Intel and AMD CPU powersave or ondemand governors, but is now able to launch custom user defined plugins, and is intended to be expanded further, as there are a wealth of automation tasks one might want to apply. For applications that don't implement the GameMode activation themselves, you can toggle the GameMode by running them via the gamemoderun command. gamemoderun ./game For Steam games this can be done by editing the launch options: gamemoderun %command% Note that some functionalities, like modifying the CPU governor, require the user to be in the priviledged "gamemode" group.
