Day 2 - Room 1 Session 2
summary
Desktop processes already break into many subprocesses — a single Flatpak can show 13 processes — so the session describes putting each app into its own kernel cgroup (via systemd scopes/services) to get accurate accounting and weighted CPU/memory control. Plasma 5.19 ships an initial rollout tagging apps into app.slice, with plans for three default slices (session, application, background) and per-app limits. A small async helper (iceland library) exposes systemd’s resource-control over DBus; services-mode and policy work are ongoing and partly hidden behind feature flags.
