Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Try intel-undervolt or amdctl

P14s (T14 gen2) AMD battery life on Linux
I still wondering how to control CPU, found many stuff such as amd_pstate, ryzen_smu, RyzenAdj, amdctl. Now I'm trying to figure something out but it has too many options ☺
-
Undervolt?
There is https://github.com/kevinlekiller/amdctl/ . It does require additional kernel params and possibly modules (idk if msr is loaded on the deck - should check) which would be overwritten by system updates. Maybe somebody has used it before?

Starbook Mk V. If you know of something better, leave a comment.
Another advantage for AMD I guess. RyzenAdj is super configurable (and scriptable for udev events) and has worked great for me for power curve and temp control, and although I haven't tried it, there appears to be a good tool, amdctl for pretty fine grained voltage and clock control now as well.
- Linux has very bad battery duration compared to Windows (PART 2). I tried everything: TLP, laptop-mode-tools, powertop, auto-cpufreq, hw acceleration, power-profiles-daemon, ryzen-controller... I still have huge battery problems. What can I do?

What can i run on this very low end pc? i want to run overwatch
After that, you can try more advanced tweaks like undervolting and whatnot.

Fix Intel CPU Throttling on Linux
You can make thermald ignore that protection by using the `--ignore-cpu-id` flag. See thread leading up to: https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon/issues/268#issuecomm...

Fan Control
I don't use Windows but in Linux, using thermald you can also set your own temperature and power limits which would also effectively limit fan speeds. You can also control EPP/EPB manually...

[Fedora] LG Gram 16 2022 12th Gen Alder Lake
If you're in the EU and looking for a thin and light with good battery life and need/want unsoldered/up-to 64GB of RAM, I believe that the Slimbook Executive 14/Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen7 might be the best options atm - 99Wh battery, 1.3kg for a 14" 16:10 version. Slimbook has a 16" version as well, although the battery is a bit smaller. These are Alder Lake H but using thermald and tlp I believe you can bring power usage in line w/ P or U chips.

Managing CPU frequency and temperatures on Linux Mint
thermald added support for both Alder Lake and Raptor Lake in version 2.5 two months ago, so you can build it for Linux Mint from the build instructions for Ubuntu here: https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon

Asus ZenBook 14x Ryzen 7 6000
For Intel, there's https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon and actually a whole range of tools/strategies for using RAPL to control power usage that can be manipulated directly, like this: https://community.frame.work/t/thermal-management-on-linux-with-rapl-limits/17416
