I have been using ubuntu for a while now. I just got a new asus laptop, and did install ubuntu 14.04 in a dual booting on it. I tend to use ubuntu than windows. But when in ubuntu it seems to hit a little bit more.

I have research and almost off blogs about things to install after ubuntu seem to promote the tlp tool. with ppa add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp.

I am wondering about how this can positively and negatively affect the laptop, in terms to performance, speed of the hard drive (7200) etc.

Thank you

You can try installing thermald with sudo apt-get install thermald which is ubuntu made and a feature for 14.04. I noticed some better control of the cpu fan on my asus laptop. Seems to work but it's a daemon (runs in background) so I have no way of knowing for sure.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. I did install it but frankly I am not sure I see the difference. Other places they suggest installation of intel_pstate on top of it. – black sensei Oct 15 '14 at 15:13
  • I just installed intel_pstate. I'll let you know if I notice any change! – maxmachine Oct 15 '14 at 18:47
