Hello Garuda community... Im not "New" or "Newbie" in the linux world but when i started looking for the "perfect" system i choose Garuda as my base for this "perfect" system.
So i came across something that actually confuse me a little bit it looks "simple" but as what i mention before im looking for the "perfect" system as possible on low-end "AMD" laptop...
What im asking here is not an real "Issue" but an "Assistance" by providing your opinion and feedback about the "Powersave Tweaks" with the packages and services "Garuda Assistant" provides...
For example and really what makes me open this "conversation" is those packages:
- Power-profiles-daemon
- Auto-cpufreq
- Thermald
- Or maybe something else ??!
Intel-undervolt not included because im using AMD Cpu.
I read about these packages but really i want a real feedback from someone using them or someone just know how they work with real PRACTICAL use to get the "best?" performance without destroying the battery life.
And last thing... before someone send "Arch Wiki" link please consider give some opinion or kind of recommended option for my hardware.
