Description: so whenever i play a game, the performance is solid and everything, but after a while, the performance heavily drops to the point it's unplayable
That happens with any game i play for a while, and the only way to restore the performance is by unplugging or replugging the charger, depending if it's already charging or not, and stays like that for a while

Reproduce:

  1. Open a game (doesn't have to be steam specific)
  2. Play
  3. Notice the performance drop
  4. Unplug or replug to restore

Expected: i don't have that performance drop in first place

Actual: i have it

Image: in a separate msg coz char limit

And that happens even if the image was up to date

It happened even on stock fedora from what i remember, not even atomic

Additional info: the power governor thingy is set to performance
