Hey, on Windows I was a cFos Speed user for ages. cfosspeed is a 3rd party QoS software, which helped a lot for having a low latency even when bandwith is used up. I could easily play latency-sensitive games while having downloads running.

Now with Bazzite, I recognized how much good work cfos did. I had Heroic Games Launcher download a game, and play Rocket League via Steam at the same time - and ping was bad.

Is there any best practice for QoS on Bazzite? cFos basically did two things:

Prioritize acks over new packets

Prioritize packets known for gaming (e.g. due to used ports)

Another resource for internet connection performance is https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

My performance significantly improved after installing Cake SQM on my OpenWRT router.

I do have QoS on my router. I want it explicitly on OS level (as well).

is this what you want?

this is a pretty advanced and niche use case, it might break some stuff

Sounds like it, thanks! I just have to acknoledge that there's no tool ready to just install and run, but I have to dig in to it more.
