Something I want to mention is that some drivers in the kernel and some implementations of vendor's EC firmware internally handle AC vs battery differently within a given platform profile. So you "automatically" get a better power savings just going to battery compared to AC.
Thus I don't think this is a high priority item. In any case if you feel it's important you should raise it upstream. It's not a behavior that would be changed specifically in Ubuntu's package. ** Changed in: power-profiles-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: power-profiles-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to power-profiles-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2028674 Title: Automatically switch profiles based on plugged-in status Status in power-profiles-daemon package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: As of now there is no option to switch power profiles automatically, based on the status (plugged-in or not) of the device. It would be a very useful feature, and would work around the requirement to create user scripts and download gnome-extensions.
