Oh, didn’t know that one.

Weird, I see:

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors

Do you see more governors on your side? How could that be?

On my laptop (plugged in) I have this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix environment --ad-hoc cpufrequtils -- cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 0.3: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004
Report errors and bugs to li...@brodo.de, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: intel_pstate
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
hardware limits: 400 MHz - 3.40 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance, powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 400 MHz and 3.40 GHz.
The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 3.37 GHz.
analyzing CPU 1:
driver: intel_pstate
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 1
hardware limits: 400 MHz - 3.40 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance, powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 400 MHz and 3.40 GHz.
The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 3.25 GHz.
