Practical system-level tweaks, fixes, and small utilities for Linux desktop and workstation setups.
This organization collects focused tools that adjust or improve real system behavior without turning into full distributions, large frameworks, or invasive forks. The goal is simple: small, understandable changes that solve specific problems and can be installed, inspected, and removed cleanly.
Projects in this organization usually target areas like:
- Linux desktop power behavior
- systemd-based helpers
- hardware-specific usability fixes
- GNOME / Wayland related system tweaks
- laptop and workstation quality-of-life improvements
- small scripts that make system behavior more predictable
- Keep tweaks small and auditable
- Prefer reversible changes
- Use native Linux mechanisms where possible
- Avoid unnecessary background services
- Document what is changed and why
- Provide install and uninstall paths
- Do not hide system behavior behind magic
A small systemd-based tweak for smoother GNOME Power Saver behavior on affected Intel laptops.
It keeps power-profiles-daemon in power-saver mode, but changes CPU Energy Performance
Preference from power to balance_power to reduce UI and mouse latency while keeping the
system quiet and power efficient.

## Notes
These projects are generally built for real machines first. Compatibility can depend on
kernel version, desktop environment, firmware behavior, CPU platform, and distribution
defaults.
Always read the project README before installing a tweak.
