How do I change my CPU clock speed?
Okay, after much tinkering around, I managed to find a tool that does exactly what I needed it to with literally no extra tinkering, which I found here: https://github.com/deinstapel/cpupower but to be honest it just raised more questions. If I leave the CPU on boost mode in the bios, it gives me pretty much full range of minimum clock speed and maximum clock speed (Except minimum can only go as low as 16% for some reason, which is odd, but I'm sure there's a reason for that somewhere.) But here's where it gets weird. If I leave the maximum at 100%, it seems the lower I put the minimum allowed clock speed, the more likely audio issues are to occur. (Mind you, all these tests were done with the maximum allowed speed set to 100%) For instance, in my limited testing I did, if I leave the minimum at 16%, audio issues happen INCREDIBLY quickly, but if I raise the minimum to 50%, no REAL audio issues seem to occur except maybe a pop every once in a while. I really would like to know the cause of this.

Just an appreciation post for how good battery management has gotten
thanks. i wonder if this extension uses that system.

If I buy a Windows laptop advertised as having 10-hour battery life, can I expect to get similar after installing Pop?
If you install this extension and limit your cpu, you might.

Turning on fan to max with thinkfan seems to set computer to a "battery saver" type mode? How to max out processor while maxing out fan?
To get some more detailed control, at some point I installed a gnome gui applet called CPU Power Manager. I set it to high performance mode here, and enable turbo.

system76-power or power-profiles-daemon on Fedora 36
Whoops, sorry, I’m half asleep and posted the outdated extensions link. I’ve updated the link to point to their GitHub which also lists installation instructions — there’s a Fedora copr available to install the extension and it’s fully compatible with GNOME 42 too (I’ve been using it on both Fedora 35 and now 36, it’s working great :)). Sorry for posting the wrong link just before!

Battery drain a lot
Take a look at CPU Power Manager but keep in mind that you will never reach the energy efficiency of Windows.

Completely Switched to GNU/POP_OS! - No more Dual Boots
One example would be, I had problems with running native version of Substance Designer. And it had something to do with always using GPU or setting environment variables(https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/issues/153). But I wouldn't know what to look for if a random guy on a forum didn't tell me to use it with NVIDIA Graphics.

Consistently high fan speed since moving to Void
[Update 2022-02-21] It appears that there are two packages, System76-io-dkms and System76-power. From what I gather only the first is necessary. I'm not sure how to install third-party DKMS modules that are not in the official repos. The official Void documentation on this topic is sparse, is there somewhere I can look this up?

Best practice for loud fans on a new Gazelle?
The performance modes are going to affect how much power the system is using (and thus how much heat it's generating), not the fan curves directly. Those profiles are defined in the system76-power application, source code here: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/blob/master/src/daemon/profiles.rs

Automate power profile switching depending on battery status
The script uses udev rules that are run at specific kernel events. It creates one rule for when the Laptop switches to battery power and another for when the Laptop switches to wall power. Both rules run system76-power while providing one of the available power profiles as an argument. I went with battery and balanced respectively.
