[SOLVED] CPU Governor

[sagsaw]

Any reason why Schedutil is not the default CPU governor in LMDE?

[rene]

I don't run LMDE and not here Debian so can't check anything but that'll undoubtedly not be an issue on the level of Mint. I fully expect that the default scaling governor will be whatever default scaling governor the base Debian distribution has set. Note that for one Mint does not provide its own kernels; could seemingly provide its own boot-time configuration but tends not to as to lower levels on the main nor the Debian edition. I.e., unless you can tell me/us that the LMDE default is in fact tweaked from the upstream Debian default you will need to ask this question there.

I will clarify that I meant why not LMDE use the schedutil as the default CPU Governor instead of which ever Debian provides.

I will then (hardly) change my reply to say that Mint by and large is the higher-level part of the operating system. The base is Ubuntu for the main edition, Debian for LMDE; said base is even gotten directly from their respective repositories, with Mint not as much even as a middleman. Something as low-level as a default CPU scaling governor Mint would not generally touch unless with very good reason; specifically good enough to overrule Ubuntu's / Debian's choices if it's not default there. Schedutil seems to increasingly commonly be picked as a default by distributions; you will undoubtedly see it on Mint / LMDE when Ubuntu / Debian uses it as default -- and very unlikely earlier than that due to the foregoing.
