I get 'powersave' as default too. According to the ArchWiki site [1] modern Intel CPUs use the intel_pstate driver which selects 'powersave' by default, and it goes on to say: The intel_pstate driver supports only two governors: powersave and performance. Although they share the name with the generic governors, they do not work in the same way as the generic governors. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling -- Tixy
