    Weird, it should generally be pretty snappy as GTK4 is designed to be GPU-accelerated. Mind mentioning what hardware you are running it on?

    Pretty sure that's a GTK4 bug that should be fixed in the next version.

    Might have to do with your setup? Maybe adwaita-icon-theme needs to be installed on your system? FWIW, the Flatpak and Snap should generally be more resilient towards differences in system configurations/missing packages.

    Yeah, that's a known issue (https://gitlab.com/mission-center-de...er/-/issues/30). Unfortunately, it's a tough one, as all the normal ways of querying the GPU wake it up. There's one possible method I know of that would probably work reasonably well for 99% of people (https://gitlab.com/mission-center-de...ote_1729912246) but it has not been implemented yet.

    I'd be curious to hear your suggestions on what additional information you would like to see.

      Thank you so much for noticing and mentioning this. It is very important and frequently overlooked how many ways of poking at a GPU's /sys/ files can cause it to consume 10+ watts.

      When I fixed this problem in my fan control script, it needed a state machine to monitor the utilization and switch into a hands-off mode if it was consistently low, and the hands-off mode looks at nothing, not even utilization, except for the PCI power state file.

      Edit:

      That actually sounds way more robust than what I did, and it's apparently stateless. And that bug report collects more information about how not to wake a GPU in one place than I've ever found. Thanks!
