I haven’t had any trouble with Garuda in quite a long while – which is great news. There is however just 1 annoying issue.
I bought a new Lenovo laptop. The power button turns blue on economy mode, white on balance, red on performance and purple on custom.
Setting power profile to Performance from Garuda sets it purple (custom).
Setting it via keyboard shortcut puts the light red.
I benchmarked it: hardware-set performance (Red) is considerably faster than Linux-set performance (purple).
No big deal… I just set it to Red via keyboard shortcut. But it resets to Custom after every reboot.
Why is Linux performance profile not matching Lenovo’s performance profile set via keyboard?
Is there a way to solve this issue?
