It’s an article about Ubuntu 24.04 on an Ubuntu-centric blog. It’s looking at that particular OS and whatever the OS uses. It doesn’t use KDE and it doesn’t use vanilla GNOME. As an Ubuntu 22.04 user who’s considering upgrading to 24.04 and is curious what’s in it, the fact that PPD is used elsewhere is a mere coincidence. 😊

Yeah Fedora uses that since forever and will even switch away from it in half a year or so, to tuned.
But a users reported way better batterylife on Ubuntu than on Fedora. So maybe they do something better?

tuneD is a daemon, systemD is the init daemon that is the first process to start. Not the same.

Yeah for sure. That can go to
GIMP
LibreOffice (vs. OpenOffice)
OpenSuse
and other projects with dumb names

Still far from ideal, though. My 2017 MacBook Air with a severely degraded battery lasts 4 hours on macOS, but only 2.5h on Ubuntu 24.04 using the power saving profile - and that’s with less intensive usage, as macOS keeps rendering gaussian blurs everywhere and launchpad and spotlight and all those annoying services.

Well this change can’t improve anything about Power Saver. It only affects Balanced which now should be a bit less of a gas guzzler.
And yes, even the most aggressive power saving we have at the moment isn’t anything to write home about. If we paid 10 developers to hunt down power drain issues and submit fixes for a few years we may get closer to macOS. 😂

The great irony is, when I ran Windows native on those Intel Macbooks, I was getting better battery and performance than with macOS.
Not sure why your comment was downvoted, you’re actually correct, Windows is got better battery life. The only reason I’m not running it on this MacBook is an unpatched bug in the Intel HD Graphics driver that prevents it from working with newer Windows versions on MacBooks with this specific display adapter.

Good change. Balanced mode being battery-unaware prior to this isn’t ideal.

I though so too, but got fed up from installing fucking video codecs for YouTube, nebula and other platforms manually. And all the configuration… then I tried Ubuntu and it just worked (untill now, got some weird things, but better than fedora so far)

That’s the case for Linux Mint, Pop os and others. The distros that ship it just don’t have ethical concerns
What do you mean?
To be honest if there are no working open source video codecs that work and are installed out of the box I am happy to use proprietary ones

power-profiles-daemon is used by GNOME and KDE yet the article reads as if this was ubuntu only.
Yeah I’m pretty sure this has been in debian for a while now
It’s omgUBUNTU, you know.
As a non unbuntonion it did make me go "omg, wtf?"
I thought the whole point of these debian variants was to add useful stuff like that - faster then debian.

Fake news….
Finally 30 full minutes!
Would be great if we could see a benchmark vs auto-cpufreq.
Breh, I thought they had a new battery saving technology breakthrough. Lol Power profiles daemon? So they didn’t have it in the distro before?
