Introduce power-profiles-daemon module We introduce a module in charge to display and toggle on click the power profiles via power-profiles-daemon. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon This daemon is pretty widespread. It's the component used by Gnome and KDE to manage the power profiles. The power management daemon is a pretty important software component for laptops and other battery-powered devices. We're using the daemon DBus interface to: - Fetch the available power profiles. - Track the active power profile. - Change the active power profile. The original author recently gave up maintenance on the project. The Upower group took over the maintenance burden… …and created a new DBus name for the project. The old name is still advertised for now. We use the old name for compatibility sake: most distributions did not release 0.20, which introduces this new DBus name. We'll likely revisit this in the future and point to the new bus name. See the inline comment for more details. Given how widespread this daemon is, I activated the module in the default configuration. 2024-02-18 21:06:21 +00:00			`- Power profiles daemon`
