Power Profiles & ROG Control Center Not Aligning
I am running UB on my Asus Tuf book, with ROGCC installed. When I choose between Performance, I get the performance for govenor/power pref. If I switch to Balanced, I get powersave/balanced_performance. If I switch to Power Saver, I get mixed results, it's sometimes powersaver/power OR powersaver/blanced_performance. The balanced_performance keeps the CPU at it's highest clock speed, causing the fans to run intermittently when nothing is happening. I have attempted to change profiles in /etc/tuned/ ppd.conf & tuned-main.conf, but it doesn't seem to respect changes in these files as the system still uses the unwanted profiles. To be more specific, I am using the Gnome settings cluster for changing power profiles in the top right. Sometimes when I attempt to change profiles, it takes for about a second, then switches back to the previous profile, and takes a few tries to get it to change and stick. If I change the profiles in ROGCC, it seems to stick better, but I'd rather use the Gnome cluster to make this change and not have to open another window to do so.
Any insight would be great, going to tag this as a "bug" as I'm not sure where to go from here.

If you don't use any of the features of rogcc
Install a normal image and just use tuned
The governors that are default on tuned are indeed bad
The only feature I use is the charging limiter. I tried TLP, but couldn't get it to stay functional.
I leave my laptop plugged in most of the time.
I'm still pretty new to bazzite, atomic desktops, and fedora... so forgive my ignorance if there's a glaringly easy fix.
Came from PopOS though, and have a lot of history with Linux.
If you're using KDE you can find the charging limiter there
I'm using Gnome, and know that base fedora has a charge limiting option. I wonder if I can make it work with a little tweaking.
It's the same option
No tweaking necessary
You mean while using Gnome with an image that doesn't have ROGCC?
Even if it does have it
I appreciate the advice. Going to wipe my system and change it to see if it makes a difference. I didn't select Asus Laptop, and instead just a laptop with an nvidia card, keeping gnome desktop.
I'll probably do that tonight and report in!
You don't need to,
brh rebase bazzite:stable will get you to a normal imahe
