Hi All,
Stupid question time, and really completely off topic for this group, but my
search-fu didn't really find anything, and there’s a good chance someone here
knows, so...
Why is almost every non-user program’s priority 0 (nice at -20)? Instead of
them having priorities scattered based upon system importance say between 0
and 5?
Logically it just doesn’t seem that basically every priority in Nix should be
either 0 (system app) or 20 (user app).
Just a dumb question that’s been in the back of my brain for years.
Best,
Michael
