I was a bit clueless about what to choose, as it’s too long since I have done anything like this manually.
Running TW KDE on an Intel CPU laptop and looking at the linked bug discussion:
- patterns-base recommends tuned
- patterns-mobile recommends tlp
- gnome/kde recommend power-profiles-daemon
I have chosen to remove tuned.
After a restart, tlp.service was not running, so I had to enable and start it (sudo systemctl enable --now tlp.service).
Now it is enabled and active, but has preset disabled:
sudo systemctl status tlp.service
● tlp.service - TLP system startup/shutdown
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/tlp.service; **enabled**; preset: **disabled**)
Active: **active (exited)** since Fri 2024-05-24 11:41:32 EEST; 4s ago
Docs: https://linrunner.de/tlp
Process: 5859 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/tlp init start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

I am not sure if I had “Power profiles” installed previously or if these have been removed with tuned, but I don’t have these currently:
I will have to see how this behaves.
