Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

I've been looking for good power optimization software so I don't drain my battery while playing lightweight games. So one of the most interesting options I found was power-options , but it doesn't seem to be very updated and apparently there aren't other contributors other than two people.

Has anyone tried it? is it safe and works as intended?

I am also worried about uninstalling it. does it revert all the policies it imposes or I will need to reinstall my system to go back to normal?

I am on Fedora 43 if that matters

I don't think they make much of a difference beyond what distro-native power modes ("Power Saver", "Balanced", "Performance") do. In the end the main determiners are the kernel and the hardware itself.
