GNOME battery charge control
As someone who has to use a laptop for work, I keep my laptop plugged in 8 hours or more a day, 7 days a week.Jelly's blog

in reply to Sonny • • •neat, this is something I’ve been spending a bunch of time thinking about, and I wonder if we can improve the experience here even more:
New hardware (like ARM MacBooks) also allow to inhibit charging at any point via sysfs, so we could do smth like stop charge at 80% but provide a button (maybe quicksetting) to continue up to 100% once.

I'm using https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5724/battery-health-charging/ for some time now and am quite happy with it. That seems to have some more options, e.g. changing the charge limit ad-hoc or enable force-discharge.
