• This expects a laptop with a battery
• Do not use this for desktops

• The following commands can be ran to see if they work on specific hardware

watch -n 0.1 grep \'cpu MHz\' '/proc/cpuinfo'

sudo x86_energy_perf_policy --all 'performance' --turbo-enable '1' --force

sudo x86_energy_perf_policy --all 'power' --turbo-enable '0' --force

• kernel-tools provides x86_energy_perf_policy

sudo dnf install 'kernel-tools'

• linux-tools-common provides x86_energy_perf_policy, and linux-tools-generic provides the module for it to actually work

linux-tools-common linux-tools-generic

• Change the backlight sysfs as-needed (see backlight notes) or remove altogether

sudo mkdir -p '/etc/udev/scripts.d' && sudo -e '/etc/udev/scripts.d/ac-power.sh' && sudo chmod +x '/etc/udev/scripts.d/ac-power.sh'

#!/usr/bin/bash
# AC
echo "$(cat '/sys/class/backlight/'*'/max_brightness')" | tee '/sys/class/backlight/'*'/brightness' > '/dev/null'
x86_energy_perf_policy --all 'performance' --turbo-enable '1' --force
# End

• Change the backlight sysfs as-needed (see Backlight notes) or remove altogether

sudo mkdir -p '/etc/udev/scripts.d' && sudo -e '/etc/udev/scripts.d/battery-power.sh' && sudo chmod +x '/etc/udev/scripts.d/battery-power.sh'

#!/usr/bin/bash
# Battery
echo '60600' | tee '/sys/class/backlight/'*'/brightness' > '/dev/null'
x86_energy_perf_policy --all 'power' --turbo-enable '0' --force
# End

• Requires the above AC and Battery scripts

sudo -e '/etc/udev/rules.d/99-power.rules' && sudo udevadm control --reload
