auto-cpufreq on Pop-os

[Fauzanmhr]

Pop-OS have system76 scheduler and system76-power (if i not wrong) , if i using auto-freq will there be a conflict ? and its good practice or bad practice to install auto-cpufreq on Pop-os ?

[AdnanHodzic]

I'm not sure since I don't use Pop-OS, but I guess the only way would be to give it a try and see if it does. As tools auto-cpufreq has problems/conflicts with i,e TLP or GNOME Power profiles, it'll remove in code and will inform you about it or will be mentioned as part of README.

Hence, would like to know if this is the case with system76 scheduled/power.

thank you, i have try and it only conflict with gnome power profiles, and it seems work controling cpu freq (plugins-plugout power test)

[jothi-prasath]

uninstall the gnome power profile
then run

git clone https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq.git

cd auto-cpufreq && sudo ./auto-cpufreq-installer

All i have from this auto-cpufreq script on Pop_Os is:

... So it suggesting use of "performance" governor... Em... It doesn't looks like it wants to save the battery.

Is it it plugged into power, why would it want to save battery?

If you want to override this behavior you can use auto-cpufreq config file.

Yes, power cable is plugged. Well, I thought it always wanted
