From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

power-profiles-daemon is used by GNOME and KDE yet the article reads as if this was ubuntu only.
It's omgUBUNTU, you know.
As a non unbuntonion it did make me go "omg, wtf?"
I thought the whole point of these debian variants was to add useful stuff like that - faster then debian.
It's an article about Ubuntu 24.04 on an Ubuntu-centric blog. It's looking at that particular OS and whatever the OS uses. It doesn't use KDE and it doesn't use vanilla GNOME. As an Ubuntu 22.04 user who's considering upgrading to 24.04 and is curious what's in it, the fact that PPD is used elsewhere is a mere coincidence. 😊
Yeah Fedora uses that since forever and will even switch away from it in half a year or so, to tuned.
But a users reported way better batterylife on Ubuntu than on Fedora. So maybe they do something better?
what are they switching to?
tuned
i get its parts of the systemd suite but thats such a stupid name lmao, seo on that is garbage
tuneD is a daemon, systemD is the init daemon that is the first process to start. Not the same.
i know, but its the same branding i mean
Yeah for sure. That can go to
and other projects with dumb names
Yeah I'm pretty sure this has been in debian for a while now
