Power Settings

The Power Settings module allows you to control how MustardOS manages power, performance, and idle behaviour. These settings define what happens when the device is left inactive, reaches low battery levels, or enters sleep mode.

You are also able to switch how the CPU behaves under normal and idle conditions, helping balance performance with battery life.
