My laptop does support this feature since it was working on Fedora KDE. But jumping over to arch, it seems not to work at all.

1. power-profiles-daemon.service is enabled and running.

2. plasma-powerdevil.service is static and running.

3. upower.service is enabled and running.

● upower.service - Daemon for power management
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/upower.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
     Active: active (running) since <time>; 12min ago

   Main PID: 540 (upowerd)
      Tasks: 4 (limit: 6850)
     Memory: 5.1M (peak: 5.9M)
        CPU: 251ms
     CGroup: /system.slice/upower.service
             └─540 /usr/lib/upowerd

I've already tried to to put

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="amd_pstate=active"

as a kernel argument that doesn't seem to do anything as well. I can't figure it out. The power management settings work tho. Any idea what's wrong? Thanks.

After searching for it, I think it makes perfect sense since fedora people switched to TuneD in Fedora 41 and that's what I was running.

Yes I use it too, and tuned-ppd is very restricted but ensures easy compatibility

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
