Swappiness
This setting requires root privilege, and a reboot for changes to have effect
Abstract: The default Ubuntu setting is no good for desktop/multimedia production use. 10 is a good value. But, the user could be allowed to change it to something else too. What are good values here, and what are min-max values?
Actions:
- Set a new value for swappiness in a custom file at /etc/sysctl.d/*
Graphical control:
- Slider to set swappiness from 0-?
CPU governor
Abstract: In order to change the cpu governor on the fly, we'll need access to do so.
Actions:
