Hi all.
It'd be awesome if we could make sure default Fedora Workstation will have
"laptop mode" on by default.
Right now I need to run a script that changes many power tunables (got the
list from powertop) to save battery on my laptop. It should be default.
Perhaps detect if the machine is on-battery and if so enable all power
saving features (disable watchdog, increase the
vm_dirty_writeback_centisecs value, and so on)?
Can this be part of upower? Can we have a setting in Settings for that?
(Something like "Enable power saving when on battery (decreases
performance)"?
slightly off-topic to the main subject of this email, I was wondering:
perhaps we should make gnome-shell automatically raise the nice and ionice
values (ie. lower the priority) of unfocused windows, so that a focused
window will always get priority for I/O and processor time (thus increasing
the perceived performance of the system)
