Ubuntu 25.04 To Enable NVIDIA Dynamic Boost By Default


The upcoming Ubuntu 25.04 Linux OS release will be enabling NVIDIA Dynamic Boost support by default when using their packaged driver support on capable laptops.

Dynamic Boost can enhance the GPU-bound or CPU-bound performance for modern laptops with NVIDIA dGPUs when running on AC power. But as a late feature freeze exception, the Ubuntu NVIDIA driver package is now approved to ship that daemon's service file and enable it by default. Unconditionally shipping the nvidia-powerd service file is fine since for older laptops, desktops, and other unsupported configurations the daemon will simply bail out.
