Thanks for your reply. Didn't know about SwitchTo before.

Indeed for a per-application thing a usermode scheduling primitive is simpler.

`sched_ext` sub-schedulers might make more sense for service-type software like a database. Maybe one can write a NixOS module that declaratively specifies that service X goes with scheduler Y. And enabling the service sets up the scheduler for it.
