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 have tried a bunch of battery optimizing software without seeing any noticable impact. I would recommend just lowering the brightness of your screen as much as you can.
