how to get gamemoderun or falcond or at least auto powerprofile switching on bazzite?
Original message was deleted
Abazzite uses tuned, the default profile is already good but you can explore tuned to see if it has autoswitching
Aif not you can try to implement a tuned command to switch to the desired profile as a pre-run script + run an exit command to restore to the previous profile
Aif youre looking to do that for the GPU, lact can do that
皇皇if you want to script it
CTo this day Feral gamemode doesn't support TuneD, so it wouldn't even work. Besides that, the Bazzite maintainers have already said it won't be included. It creates significant tech debt for the most marginal improvements.
You can easily let AI write a simple shell script for you that sets TuneD to use the performance mode while a game is running. It's not very complicated to write.

CThe problem with falcond is is that it does much more than just set your power profile to performance. This is Feral gamemode but with lots of things stacked on top of it.
CBazzite is not focused on squeezing every last bit out of your hardware: It is focused on just giving a working gaming system or handheld. Adding all these daemons to try and squeeze performance out creates tech debt and potentially issues that are extremely hard to debug.

CThis is mostly dependent on chip
CMobile chips are way better at low TDP than desktop chips
KWe ship tuned instead of ppd
KAnd we do not ship gamemoderun + refuse to
KIt's not good to use on modern hardware
KYou can just game, there's no need to change anything
Cmake a simple .sh that you can add to steam cli that turns on tuned performance mode when you run and then changes it back when you close the game
Cif you want help creating one i can help
BIs there no keyboard shortcut in gnome for that? On kde it's meta-b to change power profiles
CLol I didn't even know that. Thank you.
Ccould check behavior by checking tuned-adm when you switch power profile in gnome
CFedora Docs
If you frequently use a certain application, you can set a keyboard shortcut to quickly launch that application on GNOME. This example shows how to set a key shortcut to…
CI guess you could use this
Cbut then making it so it runs
tuned-adm profile performanceand then another shortcut for powersave/balanced
皇there isn't a performance profile
皇use balanced-bazzite
皇i think
KThat's the default anyway
KThe correct course of action is to do nothing and leave it alone
KAs I said
皇ah
皇yeah true
KIf users had to actually do all this crap to have a good performance we would just close up shop and give up
Cyeah
KThere's no reason to waste your time here
Cyou can create your own profile but bazzite is "batteries included"
皇i suppose the gnome and kde profile switching just uses tuned-ppd?
Cmeaning it has sane defaults for everything
KYes
KThey are directly connected
KTuned replaces ppd
CYes, tuned-ppd is a compatibility layer for stuff made for ppd
Cpowerdevil, gnome power profiles etc
皇i see i see
Cwell in case of there not being extra profiles for a certain power mode then nothing will change in tuned right?
Cby default power saving in powerdevil will go power saving in tuned but if the profile doesn't exist nothing will change
皇though I did notice tuned powersave profile sometimes include vendor specific tweaks like amd vari-bright
皇not sure what to make of that however
