Here's the actual guide and tweaks that's being benchmarked by Phoronix.
Just a heads up to anyone who's going to try these, forcing the performance governor all the time will crank your power consumption way up. The rest of the tweaks here should be relatively battery friendly.
Question for deck owners: does the steam deck not have any way to change platform profile modes? Most of the Linux desktops have rolled in UI features to make platform profile config pretty easy to switch between "Balanced", "Performance" and "Power Save" modes. If that's available you'll see better power efficiency by leaving the CPU governor alone and using the Performance platform profile.
i know that you can change the power profile in KDE, idk on the original steam deck ui
Ooh thanks! I wanna try it out.
