πŸ’– TUNED_PROFILES_COMPAT πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is tuned-profiles-compat, section 7 of the TuneD manual, and it's literally the ✨vintage✨ corner of the TuneD closet. come sit with me 🫢

🌸 NAME 🌸

tuned-profiles-compat β€” the rundown of profiles that exist purely for backward compatibility πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

so here's the tea, bestie: these profiles are only here so old stuff keeps working with tuned-1x. that's it. that's the whole job. 😭

  • they are no longer maintained β€” not me being dramatic, that's just the truth
  • they may be dropped anytime in the future πŸ’€ like, literally any time
  • it is not recommended to use them for anything other than backward compatibility
  • some of them are only aliases to base TuneD profiles, which is giving "reposting someone else's content" ngl
🚨 PLEASE do not use the compat profiles on new installations, bestie. instead, use profiles from the base tuned package or other tuned subpackages. this is the way. πŸ‘‘

✨ PROFILES ✨

the following profiles are considered compatibility profiles, and yes we're going through all of them, no skipping 🧚

  • default β€” the lowest of the available profiles when it comes to power saving. it only enables the CPU and disk plugins of TuneD. lowkey minimal, highkey honest about it. 🌱
  • desktop-powersave β€” a power saving profile aimed at desktop systems. it enables ALPM power saving for SATA host adapters, plus the CPU, ethernet and disk plugins of TuneD. desktop girlies get their moment πŸ’»βœ¨
  • server-powersave β€” a power saving profile aimed at server systems. it enables ALPM power saving for SATA host adapters, and activates the CPU and disk plugins of TuneD. server-core energy fr fr πŸ–₯️
  • laptop-ac-powersave β€” a medium power saving profile aimed at laptops running on AC. it enables ALPM power saving for SATA host adapters, WiFi power saving, and the CPU, ethernet and disk plugins of TuneD. plugged-in laptop slay πŸ”ŒπŸ¦‹
  • laptop-battery-powersave β€” a strong power saving profile aimed at laptops running on battery. currently it's an alias to the powersave profile. maximum battery preservation era πŸ”‹πŸ’œ
  • spindown-disk β€” a strong power saving profile aimed at machines with classic HDDs. it enables aggressive disk spin-down. disk writeback values are increased and disk swappiness is lowered. log syncing is disabled. all partitions are remounted with 'noatime' option. old-school drives getting the full spa treatment πŸ›ŒπŸ’…
  • enterprise-storage β€” a server profile for high disk throughput performance tuning. it disables power saving mechanisms and enables hugepages. disk readahead values are increased. the CPU governor is set to performance. no chill, only speed 🏎️πŸ”₯
