I use Ubuntu on desktops and laptops and am making a custom script to set things up for my school. I just discovered TLP to improve power comsumption for the laptops and want to include it in my script. Most of what I hear is great. Web Upd8 and makeuseof seem to recommend it. Yet, it is not included with any version or derivative of Ubuntu that I know of. Arch Linux includes it in it's official repositories, but Ubuntu requires adding a third party PPA. So, this leads me to believe that is has enough issues or is too new to include by default or even in the default repositories.
- Am I asking for trouble by installing it on desktop hardware, or will it just stay in the AC mode and have no effect?
- Will I likely see any kernel freezing or instability with Ubuntu 12.04 and TLP?
- Has anyone had any cause to remove TLP?
