Rewrites the README in English only and makes it cover everything the package ships: the scheduler rules, the session latency target and its limits, the boot and login drop-ins, the memory sysctl, the Btrfs service and what the install script does to /etc/fstab.

While documenting 10-games-tweaks.conf, it turned out that neither of its values takes effect: sysctl files apply in name order, and Manjaro's 10-manjaro.conf and systemd's 50-coredump.conf come later and set vm.max_map_count and kernel.core_pattern again. The README says so; renaming the file is a separate decision.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 5963d

The upgrade guidance incorrectly assures users that other fstab entries are untouched; a matching longer commit interval can leave a filesystem unable to mount. Correct this before merging.

- Line 96: Update the “Storage it can reach” README text to clarify that target
handling is independent for each configured path: an unreachable network /home
does not prevent throttling a reachable local /. State that only the path whose
underlying disks cannot be resolved is unaffected; preserve the existing
examples of unsupported storage.

a comma, whitespace, or end of line. Preserve any following delimiter and
existing optional `discard=async,ssd` handling, and leave unrelated fstab

Match complete mount options in the upgrade hook.

If an entry has the documented options followed by commit=150, the substitution leaves compress-force=zstd0 and removes the commit interval. Kernels with the hardened Btrfs parser reject that value, so the filesystem can fail to mount. Restrict the substitution to complete options:

Suggested fix for the installer

-    sed -Ei 's|,space_cache=v2,autodefrag,compress-force=zstd:2,commit=15(\|,discard=async,ssd)|,compress-force=zstd|g' /etc/fstab 
+    sed -Ei ':a;s|,space_cache=v2,autodefrag,compress-force=zstd:2,commit=15(,discard=async,ssd)?([,[:space:]]\|$)|,compress-force=zstd\2|;ta' /etc/fstab

Clarify that the targets are independent.

A network /home does not necessarily disable the target for a local /. For example, systemd 257 applies each configured path separately. The current wording can lead server administrators to assume that local workloads cannot be throttled. Clarify which path is affected. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
