Cool and all, but 'tuned' does this and so much more. Custom profiles that can control boot command line options, sysctl parameters, sysfs, and so on.

- aroundthfur 5y agotuned does not automatically change the profile based on load, so it kind of has a different behavior. The point of auto-cpufreq is to give you power when needed and then switch back to powersave otherwise. Or am I wrong?
- bravetraveler 5y agoNope, you're on the mark - that is an interesting approach. Most of my experience has been with desktops, so take this with a pile of salt I've found the effect can be difficult to notice... performance wise especially. Power wise it might be a dozen watts here and there. Even between powersave/performance it's hard to tell - mostly in latency. As a result, I just stay down on powersave. The firmware does a decent job at 'parking' cores and such as needed, and I still get decent boost performance! All that said, in a laptop I could definitely see squeezing out every last bit like this being a big help
