It is a bit slow eh. I think the only laptops that can operate at full processing power and last 10+ hours are MacBooks. But I’ve never liked things handed to me.

Note: That status bar power profile switcher (Balanced/Power Saver/Performance) is managed by power-profiles-daemon, which conflicts with TLP. When you install TLP, it disables or removes power-profiles-daemon. Originally, when I used TLP it was with I3wm. I’ve not installed TLP with GNOME, but instead tweaked GNOME power management settings also for better switching automation.
If you want the Gnome power manager status switcher back:
Remove or disable TLP:
sudo dnf remove tlp tlp-rdw
or disable with:
sudo systemctl disable tlp --now
Reinstall power-profiles-daemon:
sudo dnf install power-profiles-daemon
TLP doesn’t integrate with the GNOME GUI. So only for use with a WM like i3.
So with Gnome and most full DEs, it’s either:
TLP (advanced CLI-based power tuning)
or power-profiles-daemon (simple GUI profiles)
Not both reliably at once.
