How do I set the max processor state in Ubuntu? Windows provides an interface where max and min processor states and active and passive fan policy settings can be set. Is there an analogous interface available in Ubuntu.

Also, some of your power settings are controlled through BIOS. It would help to know the make and model of your computer as some laptops (like Dell) have different power saving features.' – mchid Jan 20 '20 at 21:06

The interface pictured above is available across multiple bios environments on different computers. – blogman Jan 21 '20 at 01:05

Note that this not frequency or clocking. It is the percentage of processor utilization. – blogman Jan 21 '20 at 01:16

Easiest way to do this is probably using TLP, you can see e.g. the scaling options here: https://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-configuration.html#scaling. Of course all the settings here modify something in /sys but it's probably safer doing it through TLP.
Unfortunately TLP doesn't do fan control, but you may want to look at this answer for alternative methods.
