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).

Battery life less since switching to Fedora (Nvidia GPU)
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

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.

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
