I work on this image and daily drove it for a while. It’s basically Matt Hartley’s TLP power recommendations out of the box (we collaborated on this, he’s the Linux support person at Framework)
I have an intel FW13 and now prefer the newer gnome-power-profile that we ship instead of the TLP-based recommendations. It has all the latest patches from upstream and it works great on both AMD and Intel systems. I don’t personally have an AMD Framework but we have enough people using it to know that the gnome-power-profile setup is awesome thanks to AMD’s contributions to gnome-power-profile.
Ideally a Framework image shouldn’t need to exist — to make things more complicated Fedora is considering switching to tuned
which is another, third power manager which should unify the stack. Universal Blue is currently testing this in the bazzite:testing
branch of that custom image and we’re hoping to get that feedback back to Framework. Hope this helps!
I am unsure of the status of KDE offhand, I’m getting a bit north of 5 hours when on a plane and on wifi.
I would love to find some script or tool that can just grab all my logs and chart them out so people can share their results in a more reliable manner because I suck at keeping track of this kind of stuff by hand.
