Choosing a power mode allows you to balance between power saving and performance optimization. The following power modes are available on all computers: Power-saver mode: Limits performance to conserve energy. Balanced mode: Adjusts performance based on your needs. On supported systems, an additional Performance mode is available. This mode maximizes performance at the cost of increased power consumption. Power-saving modes reduce performance but can extend battery life, reduce heat generation, lower CPU frequency, and decrease fan noise. Note that the system may override user settings based on the selected mode to adjust display brightness or make temporary adjustments to further reduce power consumption or enhance performance. In Cinnamon, you can select the power mode by navigating to Preferences -> Power Management.
