System76 Power GUI

This GUI is built on system76-power application that is used in their GUI implementations. Thus the name. I built this GUI to use with Arch on a window manager running x11.

Features

• View current power profile
• Switch between Battery, Balanced, and Turbo modes

Coming Soon

• Automatic profile persistence
• System tray integration

Dependencies

• system76-power
• polkit (for privilege escalation)

Build and enable system76-power

paru -S system76-power
sudo systemctl enable com.system76.PowerDaemon.service
sudo systemctl start com.system76.PowerDaemon.service
systemctl status com.system76.PowerDaemon.service

Dependency Interference

• upower: uninstall or if needed mask using systemd otherwise system76-power will not work, therefore neither will this application. This can be replaced with https://gitea.dockservices.co/G34RZ/Lid-Power-Manger.git if you need what you lose from upower like lid hybernation.

uninstall or mask upower

sudo pacman -R upower

sudo systemctl mask upower.service
