Bazzite base already covers the rest (max_map_count, zram, gamemode,
tuned profiles); governor stock curve (1000-1850 MHz, 85C throttle)
left as-is — ceiling tuning is documented in OPERATIONS.md for after
on-hardware thermal testing.

## Tuning the GPU (optional, after thermal testing)
The GPU governor's curve lives at
`/etc/cyan-skillfish-governor-smu/config.toml`. Stock range is
**10001850 MHz**, thermal throttle at 85 °C — a good default. If temps stay
comfortably low during long sessions you can raise `max` under
`[frequency-range]` (safe-points up to 2000 MHz are pre-defined; higher ones
are in the file, commented out). Running hot or loud? Lower `max` to ~1500.
After editing: `sudo systemctl restart cyan-skillfish-governor-smu`.
There is also `cyan-skillfish-performance-mode` for temporarily pinning
high clocks. Change one thing at a time and re-check `sensors`.
## Misc
- Reboot: `sudo systemctl reboot` — Shutdown: `sudo systemctl poweroff`
