 - [tranquil](https://tangled.org/tranquil.farm/tranquil-pds) is an ATProto PDS (personal data server) implementation in Rust. A featureful, spec conscious and community driven alternative to the Bluesky reference implementation PDS. Available as [services.tranquil-pds](#opt-services.tranquil-pds.enable).
 
+- [scx_loader](https://github.com/sched-ext/scx-loader), a system daemon and DBus-based loader for sched_ext schedulers. `scxctl` is the command-line client for interacting with the loader, allowing users to switch schedulers, modes, and arguments dynamically. Available as [services.scx-loader](#opt-services.scx-loader.enable)
