power-profiles-daemon is used by GNOME and KDE yet the article reads as if this was ubuntu only.
- 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.
- 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?
  
  what are they switching to?
  
  tuned
  
  i get its parts of the systemd suite but thats such a stupid name lmao, seo on that is garbage
  
  tuneD is a daemon, systemD is the init daemon that is the first process to start. Not the same.
  
  i know, but its the same branding i mean
  
  Yeah for sure. That can go to
  
  GIMP
  
  LibreOffice (vs. OpenOffice)
  
  OpenSuse
  
  and other projects with dumb names
