From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a way to control gnome's power profile outside from the gui? (piefed.social)

More specifically, I want to automate booting in performance mode and switching to energy save after a couple of minutes, just to have stuff load faster, but I found no way to do that.

Are you sure the kernel isn't doing this already?

If yes: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling

Yes, because things take long to open, so I started setting it to performance manually for them to load faster. The difference in loading time is considerate, so I'm sure it's not a trick of the mind

By the way, using powerprofilesctl already did the trick. Thanks
