Thoughts on power-options? (lemmy.ml)

I've been looking for good power optimization software so I don't drain my battery while playing lightweight games. So one of the most interesting options I found was power-options , but it doesn't seem to be very updated and apparently there aren't other contributors other than two people.

Has anyone tried it? is it safe and works as intended?

I am also worried about uninstalling it. does it revert all the policies it imposes or I will need to reinstall my system to go back to normal?

I am on Fedora 43 if that matters

Maybe try good old PowerTop? Should be available in any distribution. You could either use it in interactive mode to apply powersavings. Or use it to check whether they're (still) active.
