mamarleyRikMills: Is there a reason why the kwin package doesn't set CAP_SYS_NICE on kwin_wayland?  If it has that cap, it can make its input and output threads realtime, which can improve performance in situations with a high system load.  It seems to play a role in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490358.10:34

RikMillsmamarley: it should do. let me look10:45
mamarleyIt sets a cap in kwin-wayland.postinst, just not CAP_SYS_NICE.10:47
RikMillsmamarley: oh, getting my capabilities mixed up10:48
RikMillsmamarley: is there some upsteam docs or otherthings that say to set CAP_SYS_NICE?10:51
mamarleySort of, if you look at the commit message that added src/utils/realtime.cpp: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/a601a08ba7a65ebb4df46cf1f94f3fff2c0553cd10:52
-ubottu:#kubuntu-devel- Commit a601a08 in plasma/kwin "wayland: Make setting realtime scheduler more fine grained"10:52
mamarleyIt may also be documented elsewhere, but that's how I found it.10:52
RikMillsmamarley: right. will fix10:53
mamarleyThanks!10:53
mamarleyOverall I'm having quite a nice experience with Plasma 6 though.  It is *much* more polished at 6.1 than 4 or 5 were in their .1 releases.10:57
