Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[Linux@T460] Fan running non-stop (every now and then)
I use Thinkfan on my T420, T440, X230 and X1 that run Linux. I linked the author's github page, but I believe it's available straight from the package manager in Ubuntu/Mint, so elementary might have it too

Is there a fan control app for thinkpads?

Fans issue on my Lenovo Thinpad P16s AMD on Ubuntu
I have found Thinkfan seems to be a good way to control Thinkpad fans on Ubuntu. https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan

Solved that with Thinkfan (https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan)

The minimum viable fan control script
The second solution on this page probably isn't reliable, because hwmon paths like `hwmon3` depend on module load order.
That's likely the same reason for the `card*` workaround mentioned above.
I am using thinkfan for this and it works really well: https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan

Building thinkfan from source: DSO missing from command line

Problem building thinkfan from source: DSO missing from command line
As thinkfan (https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan) doesn't come prepackaged with my Debian version I tried to build it myself. I installed all the libraries as instructed in the README file, and followed the build instructions. Running cmake works fine, but then when I run make I get the following linker error that I cannot solve no matter what I try (this is actually my first time building a project!):

Configure Thinkfan in Fedora 36?
you can learn more about the configuration file here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fan_speed_control/thinkfan https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan/blob/master/examples/thinkfan.yaml

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.
- Someone know an app to reduce cpu and gpu frequenty for energy saving?
