Bug Description

gamemode 1.5.1-0ubuntu3 in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Gamemode sets the incorrect default cpu governor which causes huge performance decreases in some scenarios.

What I expect to happen:
Gamemode on exit should set the cpu governor back to system default (ondemand in Ubuntu's case I believe)

What happens instead:
Gamemode currently will set the cpu governor to powersave when exiting

Fix:
/etc/gamemode.ini - Commenting out line `defaultgov=powersave` will correctly set the cpu governor back to the system default

A fix is currently in gamemode master, but I hope this can be addressed in Ubuntu 20.04
