By skyforbes TLP just released 1.9.0, and the highlight is the new tlp-pd daemon. It exposes TLP’s power profiles through the standard D-Bus API used by GNOME/KDE/Cinnamon, so you can finally switch performance / balanced / power-saver directly from your desktop’s built-in power menu — no extensions or manual commands needed.
There’s also a new tlpctl command for switching profiles from the CLI and controlling tlp-pd, plus an improved TLP_AUTO_SWITCH setting so manual profile choices aren’t overridden when plugging/unplugging AC.
Overall, it brings TLP’s advanced tuning together with the convenience of native DE UI controls — great news for laptop users.
