x3dctl v1.4.1

x3dctl 1.4.1 is a small but meaningful polish release focused on packaging, install consistency, and clearer on-boarding for both source and AUR users.

This release improves the project’s install flow and documentation while keeping the core goal the same: explicit, deterministic workload policy for AMD X3D systems on Linux.

Highlights

  • Improved install consistency across local and packaged installs
  • /etc/x3dctl.conf is now staged and packaged consistently
  • Clearer optional capability-mode guidance for lower-friction no-password workflows
  • Improved AUR packaging with post-install notice for optional capability mode
  • Documentation and release-flow cleanup

Notes

  • The default and fully supported path remains the standard sudo / sudoers privilege model
  • Optional password-less capability mode is opt-in, documented, and intended as a convenience path for supported operations
  • No major runtime behavior changes in this release

Users have reported measurable improvements in performance and consistency across many mixed workload and gaming scenarios, though results can vary by kernel, scheduler, distro, and workload.

Installation

Source / local install

make
sudo make install

About x3dctl
x3dctl is a lightweight UNIX-style utility for deterministic workload policy on AMD X3D systems.

It provides explicit, scriptable control over X3D mode behavior, IRQ steering, and per-process workload policy for users who want more predictable behavior under mixed workloads such as gaming, compiling, recording, or multitasking.

See man x3dctl for full usage and operational details.
