Power profiles not applying

[R7XF]

Hello,

I am facing an issue where my system’s power profile is not being correctly applied.

In my Plasma power settings, the power profile is set to ‘Performance’.
But, when I check the active profile in the terminal, it shows ‘powersave’.

I’ve already made sure that power-profiles-daemon.service is enabled and tried to manually set the profile to performance, but doing that does not seem to have effect.
Am I overlooking a setting?

Here are the commands and their outputs:

user@localhost:~> cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
powersave
powersave
powersave

I wanted to ask if anyone else can check whether they are experiencing this specific issue.
Summary of the issue:

-In my Plasma desktop settings, the power profile is set to Performance.
-The powerprofilesctl get command confirms that the daemon correctly believes the profile is performance.
However, the CPU governor remains stuck at powersave, as shown by
“cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor”

So far I have tried several things:
-Disabling the nvidia-powerd service.
-Modifying the Grub kernel parameters (intel_pstate=passive, intel_pstate=disable).
Verifying that power-profiles-daemon is running and all relevant packages (powerdevil6) are installed.

One breakthrough: I was able to manually change the governor to performance using the cpupower command, which proves the system is capable of running in that mode.
sudo cpupower frequency-set -g performance

This leads me to think there is a bug or a very specific conflict preventing the power-profiles-daemon from correctly applying its settings to the kernel’s CPU frequency interface.

Has anyone else on Thumbleweed encountered this behavior?
I am wondering if I am really he only one, or if this is a known issue that might be related to a specific hardware (or software) configuration.

The KDE Plasma Power profile does not change the CPU scaling govenor. It changes the energy performance preference.

Check yourself by changing the settings in the applet and watch

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/*/energy_performance_preference

Thank you. That explains a lot. I appreciate your feedback.
Have a great weekend.
