No “Performance” option in “Power Mode” in Ubuntu 21.04

I have Ubuntu 21.04 installed on my laptop. There is supposed to be a “Performance” option in Settings > Power Mode, but I am only given the options for “Balanced Power” and “Power Saver”, regardless of whether I am plugged in or not. How can I get the “Performance” option to show up?

Solution 1:

I have the same issue. If these options are managed by GNOME power-profiles-daemon it could be because our hardware isn't supported.

To quote the link above

There are 3 different power profiles, a "balanced" default mode, a "power-saver" mode, as well as a "performance" mode. The first 2 of those are available on every system. The "performance" mode is only available on select systems and is implemented by different "drivers" based on the system or systems it targets.
