I've been using Nobara GNOME, which is based on Fedora, on my desktop. I noticed that the 'power-profiles-daemon.service' seems to take quite a bit of time to start during boot—around 15-20 seconds. However, I later realized that this was just the indicator of when it starts; it actually only takes about 34ms to boot up. Considering I don't really care about power consumption and I've always had it set to powerful mode, I'm wondering if I can just disable or remove this service without causing any issues. Will it affect my system's performance in any way? Here are my specs for reference:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4080
- MB: Aorus B650 elite ax

That’s curious! My laptop boots completely in 30-40 seconds, and a single service taking more than half that time seems off. If you want to ensure faster boot up times, disabling that service is a reasonable step, especially if you always set to powerful mode. Just keeps things clean!
The service taking 15-20 seconds to boot is definitely surprising! You can actually use the command `systemctl mask power-profiles-daemon.service` to disable it entirely, which will link it to /dev/null. If you ever want to re-enable it, just run `unmask` with the same command. Since you're not concerned about power savings, this shouldn't impact your performance at all.
