Description
I am running this flatpak on Debian testing, with Kernel version 6.6.15-amd64, KDE Plasma 5.27.10 and Wayland. My power draw on idle is typically below 15W, dipping as low as 9W. I just installed the steam deb for comparison and see around 12-13W. With the flatpak version of steam just open in the background I usually hover around 20W! Is that to be expected?

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Begin by reproducing the idle power comparison on Debian testing with the Flatpak and deb builds under the stated kernel, KDE Plasma, and Wayland versions; done means determining whether the extra draw is expected and identifying a project-side cause or documenting the result.
