GNOME. Eagerly waiting for cosmic.

A better way to put it would be: how much would it have saved to not have to shoot them down to begin with?

Israel is desperate to keep wars going to justify their annexing of Gaza and West Bank and leech off the US.

Good point, edited!

PPD comes default on most distros (I can at least confirm for Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora on the GNOME variant). I am not sure about KDE variants but they should support it too even if it’s not pre-installed.

You can check if it’s running with the following command:

$ powerprofilesctl

However as the 0.20 release which supports p-state just released recently most fixed point release distros won’t have the newer version. In this case you would need to update it manually.

I am running Debian testing and it has the new version while stable does not.

Also want to appreciate the idle efficiency improvements! My AMD laptop only loses a few % of battery life after idling overnight (with the default s2idle sleep mode). A huge improvement to my older work Intel ThinkPad which loses over 25% overnight…

Yes, Zen 2 and above support p-states! You might need to update your bios and enable CPPC if p-state is not showing up.

You can confirm by running $ powerprofilesctl and seeing if CpuDriver is amd_pstate.

Yes. You should not use tlp anymore on any AMD processor that supports p-states. TLP does not support these and it’s own logic may conflict with the CPU. Use PPD and let the processor itself take care of the optimizations!
