auto-cpufreq VS TLP

github repository

git clone https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq.git cd auto-cpufreq && sudo ./auto-cpufreq-installer

I know that Pop os doesn't recommend installing tlp because it might interfere with system-76 power, Is it the same for something like powertop or auto-cpufreq?

The device had only been purchased ~1-2 months ago so I don't think that dust in the fans would be an issue (as suggested in another post; Intel NUC's overheating - Solution!). The installation of Linux is more or less fresh, the only thing (I think) installed that would affect temperatures is auto-cpufreq (which has slightly lowered temperatures).

I dont know how well it actually works but I use this: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq

auto-cpufreq (switching between performance- and powersaving mode),

You can also use tools like auto-cpufreq to reduce your cpu frequencies when not in heavy load. auto-cpufreq can be configured a lot to meet your specific needs. auto-cpufreq: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq

Usually full charge give me about ~5 hours, after install tlp here https://linrunner.de/tlp

They definately do conflict, it was discussed back when ppd first arrived: https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/issues/564

If you're certain your GPU has deeper power saving states than P8, I would start by checking why it's not using them. Maybe tlp, powertop or nvtop (or their documentation) can help.

I use TLP for my personal laptop https://linrunner.de/tlp/

if you don't already have it installed, you could try tlp: https://linrunner.de/tlp/

Install TLP
