I'm looking to switch to Linux on my gaming laptop but I'm not sure where to start. I want to know more about battery performance; I've heard of tools like TLP and auto-cpufreq, but are there any other programs I should consider? Additionally, how can I get OEM firmware tools like Armoury Crate or GHelper to work? Finally, what's the experience like with modern sleep modes on Linux? I've encountered some bugs even on my 2024 TUF A15 laptop, so I'm curious about any known issues.

I totally get the need for software like GHelper for customizing keyboard lighting and optimizing performance. You might want to check out tools like TLP or auto-cpufreq, which can really enhance battery life and cooling while gaming. Just keep in mind nVidia setups can require a bit more tweaking to get everything running smoothly.
Before diving in, make sure to provide details about your specific laptop model for tailored advice. I run KUbuntu on my All-AMD Lenovo Legion, and it's been smooth sailing! Power modes are integrated, and I've found that the so-called 'bloatware' from Windows isn't necessary. As for Nvidia users, it can be a bit tricky, but there are plenty of guides available to help you out when you set it all up.
