Three gaming-focused Linux operating systems beat Windows 11 in gaming benchmark
> I don't know what Popos does to make it more "gaming focused" than vanilla Ubuntu.
They have a few changes, chief among them being the PopOS scheduler which I find to be quite effective: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-scheduler
The desktop itself is a weird custom-baked x11/GNOME customization you won't really get on Ubuntu. Not many distributions can claim the title of being truly "unique", but PopOS does deserve the title in my opinion. Even still it wouldn't be my choice for gaming, but I'll defend it's identity as something more than another GNOME/Debian spin.

Ask HN: New ThinkPad battery life on Ubuntu
Power management kinda doesn't work on Linux. There are very minimal rules once you disconnect from AC, and most of the time you'll switch into high-usage mode when it isn't needed. There's not a clean way to fix this, to my knowledge; the Linux scheduler stack is just kinda based around desktop and server hardware.
That being said, I also use Linux on my Thinkpad anyways. There are decent enough workarounds that I can keep my system up for 5-6 hours when away from AC:
- Switching into battery-saver mode will keep clock speeds down, which generally reduces power usage (as long as you aren't slamming the cores)
- tlp can help if your hardware has power-draining characteristics (I don't use it, my defaults are good enough)
- Using an auto-nicer can keep your system feeling responsive when in power saving mode: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-scheduler
So... caveat emptor, YMMV. Linux is far from the most efficient OS away from the wall, but with a little bit of configuration I feel like my system does indeed work as a "normal laptop".
- What config format do you prefer?

System76-scheduler 2.0: getting horrible underrunning from seemingly within my interface itself
ran rtcqs as a replacement for realtimeconfigquickscan at the suggestion of Brock from System 76 (thank you Brock ily). As it kept suggesting that I build a custom kernel and I would rather switch back to Windows than do that, I checked github issues on system76-scheduler, found this: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-scheduler/issues/99. Seems to fit with everything I know about the situation.

Nvidia-driver-515-open install error
For starters, you will get better performance using the stock (System76 kernel) but that's another conversation. To solve your specific issue you will need to install the missing dependencies with this command

How to avoid GNOME getting laggy when system is under heavy CPU use?
And installing and configuring system76-scheduler, it works by allocating the most resources to the window you have in focus, so say a full screen game or a browser you have open. Keep in mind that it only works with the POP-Shell extension and if you don't use it, you will need this one instead.

Fedora was added to the geekbench5 benchmark from the previous post due to popular demand. (On metal, Ryzen7 4700U,16GB Dual CH). All are fresh installations. Fedora did 15% lower in the Multi-Core HTML5 test dropping its total score. There is a 5% difference between the top and bottom Multi-Core.
If you start a game with game mode, then system76-scheduler lowers the game priority and makes your FPS lower: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-scheduler/issues/57

Distro hopping from Pop_OS to Fedora
That's why in Gnome, you need a shell extension instead of an app. Shell extensions are written specifically for Gnome, and the documentation sucks, so immediately you have way fewer options. BUT, guess what: PoP OS launcher is a Gnome shell extension (which is why it worked for you), and you can use that in any distro using Gnome, including Fedora. However, it is that it's part of pop-shell, so you also get the other UI customizations (mostly keyboard shortcuts for tiling that you can disable I think). It also requires setting up the back-end service to handle the non-ui side. Maybe there are Fedora packages for it that makes it easier (I don't use Fedora myself, so wouldn't know).

Is it possible to re-arrange and/or prioritize results in the launcher? Searching for Steam doesn't bring up Steam as a top eight result - just things that have Steam in the description.
I might take a look at that. Is this the right repo?

If the Pop Launcher could do anything, what would you want it to do?
Just to be clear, you are talking about the Pop Launcher and not the Cosmic Applications Launcher, correct? (since there may be some confusion around what the "Pop Launcher" is vs. the "Cosmic Applications Launcher" ... see https://imgur.com/a/XN34drv for images)

Is it possible to make the launcher that appears when you press the super key not be used to focus on already opened apps? I only use the launcher to start an app, or to do calculations, and never to switch what app is in focus. Is there a way to disable this feature?
This feature has been merged but not yet released: https://github.com/pop-os/launcher/issues/152

You can get pop-shell and pop-launcher in fedora.

Pop launcher doesn't list Steam in results - games on steam are prioritized instead
The last improvement was feat(service): prefer recently/often used applications in search which may have caused this.

How do I make an alias for the 'recent' plugin (cosmic launcher)?
In the cosmic launcher I use the plugin "recent" to open recent files. I would like to have a shorter keyword for this, like "fr" (for find recent). What is the best way to do this? I have looked at the readme for pop-os/launcher, but copying the system recent plugin to a new one at ~/.local/share/pop-launcher/plugins/fr doesn't work, and breaks the system version. When I remove ~/.local/share/pop-launcher/plugins/fr, then the system version starts working again.
