💖 CPUPOWER-GUI(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for cpupower-gui, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section of your system (that's the (1) part, iykyk). it's giving ✨system administration✨ but make it cute. let's go 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

cpupower-gui — set the scaling frequencies and governor of a CPU 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cpupower-gui

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no args, she just launches. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so this manual page documents the cpupower-gui command, briefly, because we're not gonna write a novel about it (we are gonna be enthusiastic though 💖).

cpupower-gui is a graphical (GUI) utility to change the CPU frequency. literally, a whole app, with windows and buttons, and it's here to mess with your CPU clocks. no cap.

here's the tea, feature by feature:

• this utility can change the operating frequency of the CPU for each core separately 🧚 — every core gets its own little moment, its own settings, its own vibe.
• additionally, the cpu governor can be changed. yes, the governor. the thing that decides how your CPU behaves. she's got range, she's got moods 🌈
• the program can detect offline cores and only present the available ones. it's not gonna show you a core that's literally asleep. it does a vibe check first 😴➡️🙈
• furthermore, if a core doesn't support frequency scaling, it is not shown. if she can't scale, she doesn't get a seat at the table. periodt 💀
• there is also an option to apply the same settings to all cores simultaneously — so if you're in a "everybody wears the same outfit" kind of mood, that's there for you 🫶

⚠️ okay important part, listen up: to apply the settings, the user must be local and active, as well as in group sudo. no remote ghost users, no lurking. local and active users not in this group must authenticate themselves as admin in order to apply the settings. so either you're in the group, or you're proving yourself. no shortcuts 🔥
