Given that I was not actively using it, I've disowned the package, glad to see it was adopted promptly 👍


@MurderFromMars the tone could be nicer, as said, but that's fine. You critique was on point.


Finally there is a binary package of falcond in CachyOS' repos, if anyone is interested (literally the only package I had zig toolchain for):

Cheers!

I use Falcond. I have used PikaOS extensively, and have compiled this from source on numerous occasions, I've also spoken with the person who made it, about it and it's dependencies, the entire point of falcond is to be an automatic game mode, where it switches system to performance mode and optionally loads a specific CPU scheduler and sets x3d to cache mode. Without profiles it doesn't do anything at all. And the auto performance mode is one of the primary points. But I guess that being optional isn't the end of the world. None the less it isn't how it's packaged on any of the distros that ship it.

Honestly, what I think should happen is that the profiles just come packaged with this package instead of being separate but that's up to the maintainer. I only submitted falcond-profiles because I made a PKGBUILD for myself and figured it would be useful for others.

PPD is only needed if the user wants to control power profiles. It is not absolutely necessary for falcond to function. However, adding the profiles as a hard dependency wouldn't be a bad idea since it crashes if there aren't any present. And I think being rude to people like that isn't the best way to get what you want.

Power profiles daemon and falcond profiles should both be hard dependencies

Falcond requires both to function at all. You'd think people would take the time to read documentation on things before they throw them on the AUR
