Ubuntu has three "Power Modes."
Performance, Balanced and Power Saver.
Performance notes, "High performance and power usage."
Balanced notes, "Standard performance and power usage."
Power Saver notes, "Reduced performance and power usage."
I have Balanced selected; or so I thought.
Derpyputer was not performing up to spec and it was right after a restart for an update, a browser update and installing a different music player.
Uh oh. Which of those things broke the computer?
I just endured the slower performance while I waited for my brain to hit a space where I could endure looking for the answer.
Somewhere in here, while tabulating the stats for the Type 64 rifle, I noticed the built in screen would dim much sooner than expected.
So I went into the settings to change the time setting for that.
Turns out there's no discrete setting for that, but this is where I see that "Power Saver" has been selected.
I changed it back to "Balanced" and all is better!
I have no idea how this setting got changed! There's supposedly no keyboard shortcut for it, but I suspect feline involvement.
