    Red Hat Preparing Tuned 2.25 Daemon For Linux Monitoring & Adaptive Performance Tuning

    Phoronix: Red Hat Preparing Tuned 2.25 Daemon For Linux Monitoring & Adaptive Performance Tuning

    The Tuned software from Red Hat is a daemon for Linux monitoring and adaptive performance tuning as an alternative to the likes of power-profiles-daemon. Tuned ships with various profiles and allows different features for tuning the Linux system performance for HPC compute, enterprise storage, balanced battery for laptops, and dozens of other scenarios. Red Hat this week debuted the first release candidate of the upcoming Tuned 2.25...

    I wonder if Tuned will include all the goodness PPD has for the Framework laptop. IIRC, it has been a gentle recommendation to swap Tuned for PPD on Framework laptops for the time being.

    I'm really excited for the Tuned project's work at any rate.

        It also is reported to conflict:

        If the user enables and runs tuned as the primary power management tool and the user tries to tweak the power profile through settings (gnome-control-center), tuned will be forced terminated and the power-profile-daemon will be brought up. This can cause a conflict with the two competing system power configuration tools.


        But as you probably know, many computers running *EL don't run Gnome so unless Gnome ditches their approach and instead tuned (perhaps libtuned) becomes the standard, there will be two similar projects with similar goals.

        Though I would say that the role of a desktop environment isn't really to provide its own power management system, (but it should certainly be able to interact with the OS's native one).

        Ironically this is one thing that systemd could attempt to justify providing. In some way only the init system knows the kinds of workloads that the system is running (short and snappy or continuous crunching) so would be better suited to select a power profile automatically.

          TuneD with its PPD interface works very well. PPD didn't tweak much, TuneD is much more comprehensive and automatically changes profiles within PPD profiles depending on battery or plugged. Nice piece of software, specially for laptops.
