Testing tuned on Fedora 40 Kinoite

Fedora 41 is out, but I prefer having unstable things in my Rawhide Distrobox, and stay on Fedora 40 for a few months.

Today randomly the KDE battery widget didnt allow me to set the power profiles, so I thought “if it is broken, I can just throw it out!”.

According to the accepted Change Proposal the recommended way to use is to remove power-profiles-daemon and replace it with tuned-ppd which is the compatibility tool to make all the GUI integrations (like the KDE battery applet) work without any change.

I also searched a bit (rpm-ostree search tuned) and found tuned-profiles-atomic, which is for “atomic host”? I am not sure what that even is, is this CoreOS?

I installed it too, as I am on Kinoite and most my apps run as Flatpaks or through Distrobox (Podman), so I guess that applies?

rpm-ostree override remove power-profiles-daemon --install tuned-ppd --install tuned-profiles-atomic

To be sure, lets pin the current system:

rpm-ostree status
# oh I have an old pinned system I dont need anymore!

sudo ostree admin pin -u 3

sudo ostree admin pin 1 
# the staged deployment is 0, we cant pin that

Reboot and let’s see!
