I'm tired of Microsoft forcibly restarting and crashing my computer to "update it" despite my settings. I want to look into Linux.
That was partially my "fault", as some of the research which led to Plundervolt was the subject of my Master's thesis. Funnily enough, this means I know a bit about what you'd need on Linux. There's a tool called intel-undervolt which should allow you to configure profiles, though you might need a custom shell script or something to automatically toggle between profiles based on whether the device is plugged in or not. The Linux kernel itself has decent P-state management by default as it relies on the CPU to tell it what P-state to use, but this is based on not undervolting. You'll need to disable this default P-state management by specifying intel_pstate=disable to the kernel on boot; you can edit your bootloader (e.g. GRUB) config to do this for you.

Windows Spy Blocker = This will add a bunch of Windows IP addresses to your Windows Firewall. The basic settings should not impede functionality. It should also allow you to switch ntp (how Windows sets it's Clock) to more open alternatives.
