To sum it up: installing thermald and tlp means my #Gentoo #Linux installation has practically optimal power management settings without having to touch a single configuration file. An incredible improvement compared to just a few years ago.

The back of a laptop's case taped to a wooden box. A power drill lays nearby, with a roll of tape, a pair of scissors, pliers and the power drill's green box. Small freshly-drilled holes are barely visible on the case.
The back of a T420 ThinkPad laptop with 9 small holes drilled into it, where the fan intake is.
