Not yet in the Torvalds tree of Linux? There's a ton of interesting schedulers coming when sched_ext lands to the mainline:

Also, would be great if more distros would compile packages with AVX512, there's a ton of perf left on the table:

I don't think they're gonna switch schedulers that quickly. They only changed from CFS (which they used for decades) to EEVDF last October.

Not until sched_ext lands, and you can then switch schedulers as you wish. Maybe in 6.12?

Oh that's cool. Looks very promising.
