Arch Linux Steam - Freeze Computer on Game Install
I suffer from this issue across different linux distros and found that it is indeed a btrfs related issue. Have a read here and tinker around the suggested sysctl values https://github.com/pop-os/default-settings/issues/111

This has already been done https://github.com/pop-os/default-settings/pull/172

How would you recommend I partition up my SSD for installing? (Dual booting)
Pop uses zram by default now, so unless you're planning to set up hibernation you don't need a separate swap partition.

Help test a ZRAM optimization for Pop!_OS
The default swappiness in Pop has been 10 since 2019

Found a solution to the constant freezing
/u/jadero I've been experimenting with a zram optimization for Pop lately. I suspect that a great deal of remaining issues could be caused by memory pressure behaviors. https://github.com/pop-os/default-settings/pull/163 There's some tweaks in here that seem to be yielding great results from the few people that have tested it so far.

What's going on with the 5.18.10 kernel updates?
Personally, I follow the pop-os/repo-release repository so that I get notices of what is being updated and when and I can gauge what looks OK or not. I've caught a few things that looked wrong before and I have been able to provide feedback and sometimes fixes (eg. https://github.com/pop-os/default-settings/pull/145).

Improve battery life
I know that Pop os doesn't recommend installing tlp because it might interfere with system-76 power, Is it the same for something like powertop or auto-cpufreq?

NUC X15 abnormal temperature while running Linux
The device had only been purchased ~1-2 months ago so I don't think that dust in the fans would be an issue (as suggested in another post; Intel NUC's overheating - Solution!). The installation of Linux is more or less fresh, the only thing (I think) installed that would affect temperatures is auto-cpufreq (which has slightly lowered temperatures).

You can also use tools like auto-cpufreq to reduce your cpu frequencies when not in heavy load. auto-cpufreq can be configured a lot to meet your specific needs. auto-cpufreq: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq
