Best / most practical way to cap CPU frequency?
I use cpupower-gui for this, and installing the .deb on their releases page works flawlessly. In my experience, it does a pretty good job at improving battery life, even on modern systems.

Limiting power usage with Ryzen
I was looking into using envycontrol to disable the dGPU in linux, and maybe ryzen controller or cpu-power to limit cpu power usage.

Question about my LXDE screen brightness
For power management, you could use something like cpupower-gui to underclock the CPU whenever you need to conserve battery.

Does anyone know of a KDE GUI for selecting CPU governor?
There's https://github.com/vagnum08/cpupower-gui but its GTK based

What's the program that you can park cores utilized in The Phawx video?
You can also use cpupower-gui to park cores, although Phawx mentioned he used some other tool. In this tool, you just need to uncheck the cpu you need to turn off.

Can't install power-profiles-daemon on Xubuntu
Also I would recommend using cpupower-gui if your frequencies are too high. This tool lets you do frequency scaling and lets you select a governor in a gui.

runwhenidle - Linux utility that can automatically pause a computationally-intensive command when user is in front of a computer and resume it when they are away.
For anyone using CPU or IO intensive programs, you can also keep using your desktop, with Cachy OS kernel or Bore scheduler/kernel and Ananicy or ananicy-cpp. Happy gentoo user here, compiling for hours while listening to music/browsing without hiccups.

Lenovo Legion 5 Laptop 15ACH6H (AMD Ryzen 5 5600H - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - RAM: 8 GB) freezes completely and sometimes even reboots
You might want to get ananicy. It's a daemon that automatically sets the niceness values of processes for better realtime performance. Basically sets the priority of processes you probably care about (like your DE/WM) higher than that of those you probably don't (like a compiler).

How To Optimise Memory & CPU Performance In Linux – Ananicy & nohang – Arch, Debian, Ubuntu & Fedora
https://github.com/Nefelim4ag/Ananicy Ananicy (ANother Auto NICe daemon) — is a shell daemon created to manage processes' IO and CPU priorities, with community-driven set of rules for popular applications.

PopOS System76 Scheduler (priority desktop gaming) ported over to Fedora
Having taken a look at the daemon, it actually reminds of Ananicy. I'm not familiar with 'Gamemode' so I cannot compare but anyways, this seems to be focused in laptops primarily, something that Tuned isn’t either. It’s going to be a nice thing to have around.

Confused as to how ananicy works
You can enable Ananicy with the command systemctl enable --now ananicy.service so that the service always runs, even after a reboot of the computer. The tool then applies the existing rules (https://github.com/Nefelim4ag/Ananicy/tree/master/ananicy.d/00-default) to various programmes such as Steam. If necessary, you can also create or adapt your own rules.

Crashing under load pls help (Ubuntu 20.04)
You might want to get ananicy/nohang, or a system oomd killer to better optimise cpu processes and priorities to prevent this.

I really like these feature from KSysGuard, I hope these gets added to Plasma System Monitor
If you want to automatize this you can use ananicy,it has rules for each program and when you open a program (a game for example),it applies the nice values and IO bounds automatically,you can modify the .rules and create in case the program you have doesn't exist.
