Merry Christmas everyone! Hope that your Endeavour is happy and stable
I’ve a really good suggestion that would benefit everyone — have tuned and tuned-ppd services installed by default instead of power-profiles-daemon.
You may ask why, here’s an explanation:
• More customization: Since EndeavourOS is a terminal centric distro, it would benefit the user to have more profiles to pick using the terminal.
• Increased compatibility and ease of use when needed: power-profiles-daemon does NOT work with Zen+ CPUs since it relies on the amd_pstate driver, therefore power profiles simply don’t work. Tuned fixes that and let’s the user use power profiles without having knowledge of the terminal by just switching them in the DE’s menu.
• No confusion about whether or not your power profiles work: Self-explanatory
Fedora switched to it a couple of months ago as well!
When we switched to using power-profiles-daemon it was partially because there wasn’t much choice given the way the Gnome and KDE were integrated with it.
It seems like tuned-ppd was added to the repos a few months ago which would make it possible to do this now.
I am not sure how many people we have running Zen+ CPUs but I wouldn’t be opposed to switching.
Tuned is Fedora’s in-house replacement for PPD and I tried it, works flawlessly both ln EndeavourOS and on Fedora Linux
I have a Ryzen 2600 CPU which is relatively new and a lot of people are still rocking rigs with older CPUs (especially older Intel ones since it also affects Intel CPUs that don’t have the p state driver), so it would benefit everyone as I’ve mentioned in the post and thank you for replying so quickly, I appreciate it :]
