# Tuned-PPD Customizer Script Usage Guide

+
### Important consideration

+
Out of the box, by default, Fedora 41 power settings are excellent. However, for those who want more control over their power performance, this script provides a helping hand while remaining with the existing GNOME power profile menu.

## What Does This Script Do?

This script helps you customize how your Fedora system manages power and performance through GNOME's power menu. It lets you change which power management profiles are used when you select "Power Saver" or "Performance" in the GNOME power menu.

1.**GNOME Power Menu**: The menu in your system tray that lets you choose between power modes
13
-
2.**The Configuration File** (`/etc/tuned/ppd.conf`): Stores your power profile settings

-
3.**tuned-ppd.service**: Fedora's service that applies these settings when you change power modes

## Important Notes and FAQ
158
+
159
+
- The script is designed for Fedora installations, should work on any distro with tuned-ppd running though with some minor tweaks.
160
+
- We get the additional profiles from https://github.com/redhat-performance/tuned/
161
+
- Changes take effect immediately after applying a new profile.
162
+
- Always keep a backup of your settings using this script.
163
+
- These recommendations are based on typical use cases; your specific needs may vary.
164
+
- The script clears the terminal screen between sections for better readability.
165
+
- Why are you using bsdtar vs something else? It's been shown to be more reliable for this script. For Fedora users, it self-installs.
166
+
-**For enhanced control**, consider using the [TunedSwitcher](https://flathub.org/apps/org.easycoding.TunedSwitcher) Flatpak (compatible with GNOME/KDE).
