cpu governer - mamboman777 - 02-08-2020
I'm running Manjaro on a pinebook pro. What are your thought on cpu governer. Should I use schedutil for day to day or ondemand. Also, if I'm going to use this for recording pro audio, should I set the CPU to "Performance" or would I see no improvement from schedutil/ondeman.
Thanks!

Another question, the fastest frequency available to the cpupower-gui data 1.48mhz. is that correct?

i prefer ondemand, occasionally setting performance. start out with ondemand and see if that works for you.
set cores 4-5 to 2ghz, cores 0-3 to 1.5ghz.
the easiest way to do this is to just change the governor and not mess with the frequency.

Cool. From what I've read ondemand seems a little quicker than the others (save performance). Can anyone help making the change permanent in Manjaro?

I found out TLP comes installed but disabled. I used it to set the cpu to conservative on battery and ondemand on ac.
I like TLP. I'll probably end up using cpupower-gui to set the cpu to performance when I'm at a gig. Is there risk in running the processor in performance mode for an extended period of time? (I'm talking 6-8 hours).
RE: cpu governer - xmixahlx - 02-09-2020
performance mode should just drain the battery faster, since all cores are set to maximum. I only use performance when on usbc power, and only when doing something CPU intensive for extended periods of time.
ondemand is the default governor on my kernel, so I only change to and from performance.

So, you don't have any overheating concerns with running performance for a full work day?
RE: cpu governer - xmixahlx - 02-09-2020
i haven't had any temperature issues at all. using usbc pd and battery, and ondemand and performance. typical range 38-48c system temp.
info:
cpupower -c all frequency-info
set performance:
cpupower -c all frequency-set -g performance
set ondemand
cpupower -c all frequency-set -g ondemand
