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.

Low usage distro for developer
Macbook Airs of that era ran Sandy Bridge processors, so, assuming apple didn't factory under volt them, you can usually get away with at least a 100 mV under volt, which would increase all core performance, extend turboboost time, and increase battery life.

Needing a new distro
it being Debian means you can also easily install the liquorix kernel from the MX control panel, to get some decent gaming focused optimizations. I'd also suggest checking out https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt and considering undervolting your laptop, as it's about the only performance hack you can do with older, low powered laptops. It makes a big difference on the chromebooks I was mentioning, lower battery usage, lower temperature, and able to run at full boost speed with no real issues. That, and configuring zram with zstd compression and zram-size=ram can be a real gamechanger on machines with low memory. Also, it might be worth it to just get some more memory, if that's an option, but I couldn't tell you without knowing more about the laptop.

Undervolt program not working (Linux Mint)
I dualboot Linux Mint and Windows 10 on my laptop. I already use Throttlestop for undervolting on Windows, and wish to do the same on Linux. So far the only ways to undervolt an Intel CPU in Linux that I have found are 3 similar softwares based on the same project: https://github.com/mihic/linux-intel-undervolt . Out of these 3 the only one I could understand to install was this one: https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt . According to the documentation, it should work with my CPU.

Undervolting in Nobara
Hello all. I'm using a Predator Helios 300 (2020) and was using Throttlestop before switching to Nobara. Stumbled upon this undervolting program on GitHub and just wondering if this is safe to use given that Nobara is using a custom kernel? My laptop tends to go around 95ish in temps while gaming and I know that's normal for a gaming laptop, I just want to lower it a bit.

Undervolting Dell XPS 13 i7-7500U for silence and endurance
I used undervolt (https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt). Not sure about intel-undervolt, didn't try it.
What are some alternatives?
