• powertop

  16 954 3.4 C++

  The Linux PowerTOP tool -- please post patches to the mailing list instead of using github pull requests

`powertop --auto-tune` can set some settings to "good", but it may in fact be counterproductive, e.g. setting USB to autosuspend that suspends a mouse that shouldn't be, etc. See here for more info. In my experience/research, it doesn't really do much.

• thermal_daemon

  18 518 7.5 C++

  Thermal daemon for IA

  

thermald settings can also affect battery life/performance a lot.

• s-tui

  22 3,923 5.2 Python

  Terminal-based CPU stress and monitoring utility

s-tui is useful for CPU frequency, temperature, and TDP monitoring (make sure to run it with sudo for power details). It also has a nice stress test.
