Have the laptop profiles been deprecated?

[tsoernes]

Where have the laptop profiles gone?

I see they are still in the github repo, but they are not included by default not available in Fedora 40.

Is there any reason for that? What profiles are recommended for a laptop instead?

Available profiles:
- accelerator-performance     - Throughput performance based tuning with disabled higher latency STOP states
- aws                         - Optimize for aws ec2 instances
- balanced                    - General non-specialized tuned profile
- balanced-battery            - Balanced profile biased towards power savings changes for battery
- desktop                     - Optimize for the desktop use-case
- hpc-compute                 - Optimize for HPC compute workloads
- intel-sst                   - Configure for Intel Speed Select Base Frequency
- latency-performance         - Optimize for deterministic performance at the cost of increased power consumption
- network-latency             - Optimize for deterministic performance at the cost of increased power consumption, focused on low latency network performance
- network-throughput          - Optimize for streaming network throughput, generally only necessary on older CPUs or 40G+ networks
- optimize-serial-console     - Optimize for serial console use.
- powersave                   - Optimize for low power consumption
- throughput-performance      - Broadly applicable tuning that provides excellent performance across a variety of common server workloads
- virtual-guest               - Optimize for running inside a virtual guest
- virtual-host                - Optimize for running KVM guests
Current active profile: balanced-battery

The profiles weren't dropped yet, but they aren't maintained for some time. The profiles are still available in tuned-profiles-compat RPM subpackage.

For laptop probably the balanced and balanced-battery profiles should work good. They can be automatically changed by tuned-ppd if laptop is running on AC or battery.
