I consider power-profiles-daemon to be an important piece of Fedora Workstation on laptops. I haven't programmed in C in years and this would essentially be my first contribution to such low-level software so I'd need someone to guide me. If someone is willing to provide guidance and or supervision I could try working on power-profiles-daemon. ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

Broken Discrete/Dedicated GPU support
Hey people, KDE recently merged in more support for discrete GPUs through swicheroo-control and I noticed that the logic both KDE and Gnome use does not probe if the GPU is actually discrete/dedicated or not, only if it was used at startup. On Desktop setups, it's not uncommon to see a discrete/dedicated GPU as the default and an integrated GPU on the side, which both desktop environments would assume to be the better one, with Gnome even adding a context option to "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card" when in reality it would use the integrated GPU. I've looked into contributing to fix the issue, but from the outside, it appears that RedHat is no longer interested in spending resources on it, essentially leaving it unmaintained for the time being. This issue isn't new and has been bothering users for a while: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8074 https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/issues/784 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8069 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8179 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8983 https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/issues/2967 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/246007 etc. Does anyone know if there is something that can be done about this?
