The release of volt-gui 1.2.0 has taken place, providing a graphical interface for optimizing gaming performance on Linux. The program simplifies the configuration of graphics driver settings, Mesa, and the Linux kernel. For example, it offers options for selecting the scheduler mode, controlling VSync usage, shader caching, enabling various optimizations, and overriding reported information about OpenGL and Vulkan versions. The code is written in Python and is distributed under the GPLv3 license.
Among the changes:
- The ability to change the minimum and maximum CPU frequency has been added.
- The default settings have been changed to improve compatibility with various desktop environments—system tray usage and transparency have been disabled. Initially, the settings were tailored for use in Cinnamon and KDE Plasma, and now, among other changes, they also cover GNOME.
- 40 new Linux kernel settings have been added, such as /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen, /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory, /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space, and /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max. Descriptions and recommended values for kernel parameters have been updated. The management of kernel settings has been reorganized.
