Fan Control on Summit B15
On Linux, there is isw. Using this tool, I can manually disable this fan by writing the value of 0 to the memory address which represents GPU fan level 1. There is also GPU fan level 0 which already contains the value 0 but this seems to be ignored (for CPU, level 0 plays a role on the other hand). Moreover, the address which is supposed to show the GPU temperature just displays 255 (which would imply meltdown). Maybe there is some confusion, because the device doesn't have a dedicated GPU (just Intel Iris Xe).

Battery Stuck at 53% (MSI Alpha 15)
You must have enabled battery conservation mode in msi dragon center before switching to windows. In order to fix this you have to modify the ec. Use isw tool to alter the ec config and control the fan/battery level. If nothing works then switch back to windows and disable battery conservation then install linux.

thermal/power management for laptops
disable thermald, relying on my fan profiles (https://github.com/YoyPa/isw for MSI laptops) and tweaking my tlp config. if that fails i will use the default config and try auto-cpufreq to limit my max clock speeds

Anyone with a (GL63/GE75/other?) 9SE model wanna check something for me real quick?
Fast-forward about a week, and I'm trying to set up my fan curves on a refreshed Arch Linux install, when I notice something that doesn't quite look right. Dumping the EC with isw shows the EC firmware as 16P5EMS1 - in other words, the embedded controller firmware for a GP63 board, which shouldn't match any 9th-gen models. It's not like it's a leftover bit of cached data from the old board, either; it's what shows up in the UEFI menu, even after flashing a newer BIOS containing the 'proper' EC firmware. Given the apparent mismatch, it doesn't seem like the firmware listed on MSI's page for the GE75 would pass the pre-flash checks, and it'd be a dumb idea to try and force it.

Best Power Management: Fedora 38 + Kernel 6.2.15 + TLP?
They definately do conflict, it was discussed back when ppd first arrived: https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/issues/564

Power State management best practices?
If you're certain your GPU has deeper power saving states than P8, I would start by checking why it's not using them. Maybe tlp, powertop or nvtop (or their documentation) can help.
