powerprofilesctl manages system power profiles via the power-profiles-daemon. It allows switching between performance and power-saving modes to balance energy consumption and system responsiveness.
Profiles affect CPU governor, GPU power management, and other hardware power settings. The daemon exposes profiles over D-Bus for desktop integration.

Set the active power profile

Requires power-profiles-daemon running. Available profiles depend on hardware support. May conflict with other power management tools (TLP, etc.). GNOME/KDE integrate this via GUI settings.

power-profiles-daemon was developed by Bastien Nocera for freedesktop.org. It provides a simple, standardized interface for power management that desktop environments can use.
