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).

What's your prebuilt desktop server's idle power?
Keep in mind this isn't the native "Laptop Mode" that is available on Ubuntu (even server). This is the github "Laptop Mode Tools". There are instructions on there which you should read through. The main thing is you need to go through the config files and alter the settings yourself. Each setting has a description on what it does and how to optimise it, so you just have to go 1 by 1. I just went fairly aggressive on a lot of them, which increases latency a bit, but not massive. The worst is when you access files on the spinning drives, it takes 1-2 seconds to spin up and bring the file up.
