but isn't dbus activation like a socket activation via dbus socket(i.e. no daemon is spawned until needed)?

It looks like D-BUS indeed can launch applications, don't know if that is something that GameMode uses or not. I'm not too familiar with D-BUS yet, just noticed that systemd itself have no D-BUS activation since the D-BUS name have to exist on the system for the systemd unit files to work.

only if you are not using swap

Not really. Even if you have swap, that assumption is only true if you either start swapping, or have high swappiness configured.

If you think that's a great idea, I assume you like your computer hanging as it's swapping things in and out. Enjoy your wasted write cycles and additional stutter when something requires work from the daemon.

Not really

really. if you have process which does nothing and it consumes your ram, then you are not using swap
