[RESOLVED] Tuned power manager tunes too low

When I updated yesterday, powerprofilesctl was replaced with tuned. I typically run my laptop on power saver, but I noticed that when I do so, my PC grinds to a halt. KDE hangs when trying to do anything at all, including pressing meta to open the application menu.

Balanced power mode is not much better. I can only reasonably use my PC when set to performance
Solution
The new Bazzite 41 release should contain a workaround for this issue, as the variables previously set in 65-memory.conf have moved to now be set as part of the default throughput-performance and balanced TuneD profiles as of this commit: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/commit/b2e4c8bb13edcf4eb2a5f3af527a1a098313d1ba
I haven't tested this yet, but this bug should now no longer occur without my posted workaround after updating to the newest bazzite. I am curious about the behavior of the powersave profile now though, as it doesn't set the vm variables at all
