Default is 0. Also, processes inherit the priority of their parent.
This is another reason why starting the desktop environment as a whole with a different prio won’t work: the compiler is started as a child of the editor or shell which is a child of the DE so it will also have the changed prio.
Critical operating system tasks run at -19. If they don’t get priority it will create all kinds of problems. Audio often runs below 0 as well, at perhaps -2, so music doesn’t stutter under load. Stuff like that.
How do you expect the system to know what program is important to you and which isn’t?
The windows solution is to switch tasks very often and to do a lot of accounting to ensure fair distribution. This results in a small but significant performance degradation. If you want your system to perform worse overall you can achieve this by setting the default process time slice value very low - don’t come back complaining if your builds suddently take 10-20% longer though.
The correct solution is for you to tell the system what’s important and what is not so it can do what you want properly.
You might like to configure and use the auto nice deamon: https://and.sourceforge.net/
No. This will wreak havoc. At most at -1 but I’d advise against that. Just spawn the lesser-prioritised programs with a positive value.
nice +5 cargo build
nice is a program that sets priorities for the CPU scheduler. Default is 0. Goes from -19, which is max prio, to +19 which is min prio.
This way other programs will get CPU time before cargo/rustc.
Because they are assholes.

That same argument would paint gun makers as guilty of enabling murder and crime.
You’d be correct of the law were logical, but it is not. Check this out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number#Illegal_primes
Right, I misread
It’s like that in many countries. The USA is just kind of shit in this regard.
Btw I use Debian
