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)"?
Isn't this the sort of thing that should ship by default? (Whether in a
tuned profile or something else.)
