Hi.
I just installed and enabled the “auto-cpufreq” in garuda-assistant. After i restart the system and i want check it is running. I got the following output.
sudo auto-cpufreq --stats
[sudo] password for :
------------------------ auto-cpufreq not running ------------------------------

after this i enabled the services manually:

So in my laptop after enabling auto-cpufreq in garuda-assistant dosn’t enabled it. Can someone check has a same issue?
Next i will check power-profile-daemon and thermald. Should i use all those together at the same time?
This article still okay for optimising laptops? ===> [GUIDE][OLD][OPINION] Configuring Garuda Linux for Laptop
edit:
power-profile-daemon is working fine for me.
edit2:
power-profile-daemon and auto-cpufreq doesn’t working together.
Which is better to use?
