    Hi everyone.
    Not sure if anyone has seen this yet but check this link out https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq
    I have installed it on my CF-29 Toughbook running a new install of Debian 11 (Bullseye) and just completed a battery drain test. Laptop on kept screensaver off most of the time (99%) and got 5 hours 15 minutes out of it which is much better than I've had from it before.

    I usually paired my intel laptop with TLP and tuned-adm to squeeze more battery life.
