Power profiles daemon change balanced state

I have been using TLP for a while on a Dell latitude laptop which had gnome installed and it worked good but recently installing it on another latitude the animations were choppy which reminded me that Endeavour OS uses power-profiles-daemon and this is necessary for both Gnome or KDE. Is there any way to change the default state of balanced to use balanced_performance as provided by TLP as an option.

This setup is for a family member so can’t really delete power profiles daemon as they would like to see it there and be able to configure.(they are not that savvy on the tech side).

If this is possible i would actually switch too as this is the only reason i am still on tlp and i’ve spent too much time running sudo tlp start then i can tell.
As much as i love being in a term manually writing a text file everytime to switch from balanced to performance is just annoying including the additional command you run on top of it.

As far as I can tell, TLP and power-profiles-daemon are not compatible and should not be run side by side on Linux systems. They both modify overlapping kernel settings related to power management, which can lead to unpredictable behavior if both are used simultaneously:

I’m not currently running them simultaneously.
On my first laptop i have uninstalled power profiles daemon and the second i would just like to use power profiles daemon just with a better balanced profile similar to how power-performance works.
Power profiles daemon operates on this state only when plugged in but not normally.
