From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

...or you could opt for other ways to improve your PC performance. For instance, using equal values for both
scaling_max_freqandscaling_min_freqgives you a quite considerable performance boost at the expense of (almost) nothing.Well, you lose a lot of power efficiency, this would be massively detrimental to many peoples experiences if you do this on anything battery powered like a laptop.
Eh...I see your point.
And does this still work with modern cpufreq schedulers like amd-pstate and the Intel equivalent? IIRC I couldn't simply set frequencies or select the userspace scheduler on 10th gen Intel and frequencies don't seem to be honoured by AMD pstate drivers on Zen4.
