On debian the program is cpulimit.
I think using nice or renice is better practice. Hard throttling is way more inefficient.
I use cpulimit to force a CPU bound program to slow down. I also use it for programs that always max out the CPU for no good reason, and work fine with less CPU.
Nice won't help with either of those.

It's a phase. I run into similar issues when using OSX while being used to Linux.
I went through a similar struggle when switching to a Mac about a year ago for work. I still miss the ability to drag windows around from anywhere by holding the alt key, and dragging any part of the window. Never found a good replacement in OSX.

Don't worry. Linux is slicker.
As someone who just switched to Linux from OS X, it is really hard to migrate. I miss the subtleties of the apple ecosystem. Sure Linux is awesome, but I have been battling trackpad support issues, keymapping the super_key to CMD, and just general battling the UX. tl;dr a more powerful operating system with worse UI, which is the obvious trade. A less powerful system with a fantastic UI.

"This is nice! On OSX, processes can be paused and continued too" Every once in a while I am reminded how wonderful, and perhaps unlikely, it is that I have a nice, slick, mass market consumer device (apple computer running OS X) that is honest to god UNIX underneath. And then sad, knowing that this is a brief golden age that will probably pass.
Many would argue the golden age of OS X and nix compatibility has already passed. The last time I seriously used OS X was 10.4, but every release I hear about another set of nix compatibilities getting chipped away.
Great app but I have one request. Can you please modify it so instead of pausing the game until my SO is done talking, it pauses my SO until my game is done its cutscene? Thanks in advance.

haha. You guys must be right. That is the exact functionality that is the most annoying for me right now! I need to get used to this new OS. I miss 3 finger swipe right. ctrl+alt+shift+ [direction] is quite a macro just to move a screen.
Now if only there was a Universal Skip Button for those games with unskippable credits, intros or cutscenes!
