Another tool used for power management is auto-cpufreq which aims to replace tlp. When using auto-cpufreq it is therefore recommended to disable tlp as these tools are conflicting each other. However NixOS does allow for using both at the same time and you therefore run them in tandem at your own risk. To enable the service just add <code>services.auto-cpufreq.enable = true;</code> to your configuration.nix | Another tool used for power management is auto-cpufreq which aims to replace tlp.
