Battery charge limit on gnome deck images?
Using a steam deck OLED. Just wondering how I get the battery charge limit? I did some reading and I think I need something called steamos-manager but I could be completely wrong and idk how to get that on here.

Implement missing battery charge limit in Gaming Mode · Issue #265...
Describe the bug Battery limit just implemented in beta by Valve are missing from the performance menu. This is probably because this service is missing in Bazzite: https://gitlab.com/evlaV/vpower ...
I am to stupid to figure out what any of this means please explain to me like im a baby
okay but how do I get
the battery limit
WAIT
im stupid
The GitHub was saying handheld daemon and I was so confused cause I know daemons are like background processes so I was confused if I had it or not but I just realized it’s a app
okay I still cannot find the battery limit in the app
????
Alright im trying to update HHD
hoping that does something??
Im really clueless
yeah that did nothing, cool!
from what I know, SteamOS manager should just be a SteamOS thing. So I do not need it
but now I’m just confused why my HHD doesn’t have battery limit settings
I’ll try seeing if I can do anything in the bios
hhd was purely designed for handhelds other than steam deck. steamos-manager which you've mentioned earlier needs to be ported to bazzite itself so it can be used from steam gaming mode, or hhd need to support steam deck already
if you're concerned about it, stick to steamos
im not really that concerned about it but it would be nice
I prefer bazzite for having Waydroid supported, able to have gnome, ujust commands are really nice.
Do they plan to have HHD support that feature for deck?
no clue, I just described why this isn't working on steam deck specifically
I own steam deck oled and use bazzite gnome too, would be nice to have it here, but again it needs to be ported
I see, thank you 😭
I probably saw that hhd will support setups other than handhelds and htpc, but other than that I don't really recall anything about steam deck
I see
atleast if the battery does ever get bad, I could probably easily replace it
benefits of bazzite are worth trade off for me, thank you for your help
sure, if that somehow helped 😅
it didn’t really but it gave me closure 😭
maybe someone else will chime in and give an alternative to all of this, but personally better to stick to valve's implementation if it's available
There are some gnome extensions as well that seem designed to limit battery charge.
But don't know if they work with tuned
But check their compatibility list. Most of them have one
sudo systemctl enable --now batterylimit.service
default limit is 90% & to change it you can edit /etc/defaultbatterylimit e.g. to 80ohh okay

it said this
Does this mean it’s worked?
looks right to me i think
yes if you've tried charging after that it should cap at 90
Yup it works
Did you find the power limit in the HHD > TDP setting page (checkbox on my gnome handheld)
If its solved can you mark the solution? with the checkbox
this is about the steam deck
