Public bug reported:
Release: Ubuntu Groovy Gorilla (development branch), but should be the same in
20.04
Package version: 1.5.1-0ubuntu3
What happens: The not-commented-out line "defaultgov=powersave" in
/etc/gamemode.ini causes gamemode to switch to the powersave governor on
exit rather than reverting to whatever governor was in use when gamemode
kicked in. For AMD CPUs at least powersave is not an appropriate setting
-- the CPU will run slow regardless of demand. It's nice for when you
want some peace and quiet, not so nice for doing work (or for playing
games you haven't configured to use gamemode).
What I expect to happen: Surely the sane, expected, and user-respecting
behaviour here would be to returning the system to the state it was in
pre-gamemode?
