Consider testing outside this scenario—just see if it functions. If your usual situation doesn’t require the turboboost level, it’s fine. Mint performs smoothly without any delays on a second-gen i7.
Earlier conversations were mainly shaped by this perspective, where "usable" Linux is preferred over "perfect" Windows 10. No worries if I don’t have more helpful advice.
You haven't fully grasped how Linux functions? When you set up an operating system, it doesn't automatically include all necessary drivers. Windows handled most of this well. Most overclocking tools are developed for Windows, not Linux. According to Steam, we're still under 10% Linux users. Just like GPU drivers, you need to install packages and verify if the device is using the right drivers. Installation scripts handle much of the work, but not everything—especially GUI installers. Linux isn't fully prepared for everyday use yet. If you dig deep enough, you'll see how far it has come and how support is gradually improving. Things like Proton Battle Eye and others are now playable with Battlefield Eye. Still, keep going—more people will face the same issue, and there might be fixes on GitHub eventually. It's just not been discovered yet.
It's not about increasing speed. It doesn't move to PL2, and that isn't an increase in speed.
What's your highest turbo speed? I'll run a Geekbench test and see how it performs on Linux versus Windows. If the numbers match closely, you're in good shape—no worries, and you might even enjoy lower power use. Consider downloading Geekbench 6 if the results are close enough.
I actually had tried the same program before and it didn't work, but now I tried it again, and well I think it works but doesn't solve my issue. I am able change the power limits, but no matter what power limit I put, it will never exceed the 15 watts. Also, there is no "risk" involved. The deep firmware will not let anything bypass it.
