I'm having trouble installing TLP on my PopOS system, whether through the terminal or the Pop Shop. The Pop Shop gives me an error saying "failed to install, check for pending updates," but there are no updates available. When I try to install via the terminal using 'sudo apt install tlp', it prompts me to run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a', but this causes my system to crash immediately. I'm specifically looking to limit my laptop's charging level; is there an alternative way to do this? For reference, I'm using an Asus TUF A15 with an RTX 4050.

I feel you! Dealing with these installation issues can be super frustrating. Have you tried looking into the migration page for advice? There might be some tips there that could help you either fix your install or find a different way to manage your power settings. Just make sure to use additional precautions when installing software—only go for trusted sources!
It's generally not a great idea to mix power management tools like TLP with what PopOS offers by default, like system76-power. They likely have overlapping functions and using them together could cause conflicts. If you need to limit your charging level, it’s best to stick to just one tool. You might want to check out the resources available online for managing power without TLP, as there could be a simpler solution for your needs. Good luck!
