Improve battery life
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?

NUC X15 abnormal temperature while running Linux
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).

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

Should I use tlp & autocpufreq or cpufreq and tlp?
I want to reduce fan noise by controlling the power usage of my 64 bit Intel Haswell G3240 Desktop PC through CPU scaling tools. Currently, I am using thermald in tandem with autocpufreq (https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq) with the performance governer with the intel_cpufreq driver (is this the correct driver for my cpu?) and temperatures are reaching up to 50 degree Celcius. Should I switch to cpufreq (https://github.com/konkor/cpufreq)? Which one of these works better for on demand cpu scaling. Which is more easily customizable ? Should I consider using tlp in tandem with these tools. Will TLP hurt performance, if so how can I configure it for perfomance. How low should I set my minimum CPU frequency (currently 800 Mhz) and my max frequency (currently the max frequency of my CPU: 3100 MHz) to drop temperatures to as low as 30 degree Celcius.

Intel CPU turbo boost not working (stuck at base frequency) - conflicting info
Part of the problem started when I fidled with something in the bios (was something like turning virtualization on) soon after I got the laptop. In windows, the cpu would be locked at it's base frequency of 1.1GHz for around 30-45 seconds after reboot and then it would suddennly be able to turbo boost to >3GHz. After reseting the setting in the bios and a bios upgrade later I still had the same problem. I installed ubuntu 20.10 as a dual boot and the issue of the processor being locked at 1.10GHz was present. I installed cpufreq through gnome extensions and after 30-45seconds after reboot the "Turbo Boost" option became availiable and pressing it fixed the issue (although you did have to do it every reboot).

Pop!\_OS "manual" CPU performance customization?
In fact, that does seem to be the case: I was looking at cpufreq (GNOME extension), and it appears it "simply doesn't work" under Pop!_OS, likely due to the latter's power daemon.

What is the difference between cpufreq and power-profiles-daemon?
I noticed that in ubuntu 21.04 there is a powermode setting that gives me 3 modes: high performance, balanced, and powersave. I saw that it seems to work (I looked at the task manager and looked at cpu%) and saw that there is a difference between the profiles. But It doesnt really give me a ton of control, nor can I check the frequency. I used to use cpufreq which gave me the cpu frequency and the ability to change governers/profiles. but I am not entirly sure if I should be using them together? It seems like when I have cpufreq the power mode (power-prodiles-daemon) doesnt feel like it does anything, and cpufreq shows no change in frequency?

Tuxedo Pulse ==> How to limite TDP to limit boost under linux
Some allow to select different profiles depending on whether you are on battery or not, like the aforementioned cpufreq (which sadly is not available for GNOME 40 yet). The nice thing about the latter is that you can adjust everything from GNOME's menu bar.

How do I get good battery life?
Have you tried fancontrol-gui and CPU Freq? I have never had a AMD cpu so no guarantees there.
