# Fix common Arch Linux performance issues on laptops with NVIDIA hybrid graphics
#
# Issues addressed:
# 1. NVIDIA xorg RenderAccel disabled → forces software rendering, Xorg eats 30%+ CPU
# 2. CPU governor stuck on powersave → AMD Ryzen throttled despite AC power
# 3. No power management daemon → inconsistent CPU/GPU power state management
# 4. Systemd journal bloated (>1GiB) → wastes disk I/O
# 5. NetworkManager-wait-online.service → adds ~6s to every boot for no benefit
# 6. media-organizer.service broken → wrong script path & user, fails every boot
#
# Usage:
# ./fix_arch_performance.sh # Apply all fixes
# ./fix_arch_performance.sh --dry-run # Show what would be done
# ./fix_arch_performance.sh --interactive # Prompt before each fix
# ./fix_arch_performance.sh -h # Show help
#
# Safe to re-run: all fixes are idempotent.
# Requires reboot/re-login for xorg changes to take effect.

fix_arch_performance.sh - Fix common Arch Linux laptop performance issues
Usage: fix_arch_performance.sh [OPTIONS]
Options:
--dry-run Show what would be done without making changes
-i, --interactive Prompt before each fix
-h, --help Show this help message
Fixes applied:
1. Enable NVIDIA hardware acceleration (RenderAccel true)
2. Install/enable power-profiles-daemon, set performance profile
3. Vacuum systemd journal to 300M, cap future size
4. Disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service (saves ~6s boot)
5. Fix media-organizer.service (correct path and user)
All fixes are idempotent and safe to re-run.
Xorg fixes require reboot/re-login to take effect.
