    Is there any easy way to setup Fedora so that it automatically switches between high performance and power saving depending on whether power is plugged in? The system probably already does that but is there any EASY way to control/configure this?

      Yes. It's http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/tlp.html
      It's pretty much 'fire and forget' (nothing but installation needed - noob friendly) but you can easily customize the settings. I, for example, change disk APM settings to make up for the disk clicking APM bug.

        Thanks a lot. It looks very noob friendly, I'll give it a try. But do you know if there is anything installed by default on Fedora 20 that manages power profiles? What is it that alters CPU and GPU frequencies based on load?
