Hi everyone,

As far as I know, the only plugin I’d use and need doesn’t exist.

I understand why Valve wants to keep things simple and doesn’t offer a way to have separate power profiles/resolutions, but would have thought someone would have created a plugin for such a user case.

Of course I don’t have the ability to do it myself, but it sounds simpler to realise than a lot of other plugins.

For those who are playing docked and handheld, how do you manage?

I’ve read that some users are just toggling on and off the per game profile, but it’s just a workaround.

    Don’t know if it’s possible with SteamOS. But in KDE you can select different power profiles for battery powered and on a power supply. And those profiles can be configured.

      It might be interesting to test if changes in this area via KDE persist with the switch to game mode. Much of what you do in KDE is just making changes to much lower level system rules, so you may find you can set rules in KDE and use them in Steam.
