#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Optimize Arch Linux desktop for maximum performance on high-end hardware
#
# Tuning areas:
#  1. CPU scheduler — performance governor on all cores
#  2. I/O scheduler — optimal scheduler per drive type (none for NVMe, mq-deadline for SATA SSD)
#  3. Memory / swap — lower swappiness, tune dirty page writeback for responsiveness
#  4. Kernel network — TCP BBR, fastopen, larger buffers
#  5. Filesystem — fstrim timer, noatime advisory
#  6. NVIDIA GPU — max performance level via persistence mode
#  7. Kernel mitigations — option to disable CPU vulnerability mitigations for extra speed
#  8. Boot speed — disable unnecessary wait-online services
#  9. Journal housekeeping — cap at 300M
# 10. Process scheduler — install ananicy-cpp for automatic nice/ionice/scheduling
#
# Usage:
#   ./optimize_arch_desktop.sh                  # Apply safe optimizations
#   ./optimize_arch_desktop.sh --dry-run        # Show what would be done
#   ./optimize_arch_desktop.sh --interactive    # Prompt before each tweak
#   ./optimize_arch_desktop.sh --aggressive     # Include CPU mitigation disable (risk: security)
#   ./optimize_arch_desktop.sh -h               # Show help
#
# All tweaks are idempotent and safe to re-run.
# Some kernel parameter changes require a reboot to take full effect.

optimize_arch_desktop.sh - Squeeze maximum performance from an Arch Linux desktop

Usage: optimize_arch_desktop.sh [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --dry-run          Show what would be done without making changes
  --aggressive       Also disable CPU vulnerability mitigations (trades security for speed)
  -i, --interactive  Prompt before each optimization
  -h, --help         Show this help message

Optimizations applied:
   1. Set CPU governor to performance on all cores
   2. Set optimal I/O scheduler per drive (none/mq-deadline)
   3. Tune vm.swappiness, dirty ratios, vfs_cache_pressure via sysctl
   4. Enable TCP BBR congestion control + fastopen + buffer tuning
   5. Enable fstrim.timer for SSD TRIM maintenance
   6. Set NVIDIA GPU to max performance level (persistence mode)
   7. [--aggressive] Disable CPU vulnerability mitigations
   8. Disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service for faster boot
   9. Vacuum & cap systemd journal at 300M
  10. Install/enable ananicy-cpp for automatic process prioritization

All optimizations are idempotent. Re-run safely at any time.
