 FreeVariable | Okay so what is the best approach for someone who wants to use scale up cpu on demand (i.e. for heavy workloads) and minimize it otherwise?
use only NixOS + GNOME OOTB utilities (in which case: do I need to configure power management manually? use tlp + thermald only use a combination of the previous two?

| FreeVariable | at the end of the day all I am looking for is a single "balanced" mode that automatically scales up and down, adjusting on workload, so that I don't have to think about it at all. | 11:04:56 |

| K900 | And you can tweak the preference towards more power or more battery life with power-profile-daemon | 12:16:19 |

Thanks.
When you say 'tweak' do you mean manually adjust using a UI widget? I do not want that. I want to use a auto-scaling logic and go on with my day. | 13:15:10 |
| FreeVariable | * Thanks.

So assuming I go with out of the box tools only, which powersaving settings do I need to apply? I've looked this up in the user docs and on the wikis, but information about this is apparently scarce. | 13:16:44 |
| K900 | Then just don't touch anything | 13:16:55 |
| K900 | And it should be fine at stock setting | 13:16:59 |

| FreeVariable | so without using any powersaving setting at all in my configuration.nix? | 13:17:29 |
