I am a new owner of the laptop Framework (13" AMD 7040). Ubuntu is what is installed on the machine and most things run as I would like. However, there are some things that bother me and that I have not been able to resolve.
At the outset, I would like to state that I am quite inexperienced in this type of question. So please explain to me as if I were 5 years old 
Iāve noticed that the 3 power profiles donāt quite work the way I want them to. (power save, balanced, performance). Or rather, these work reasonably well when I run on battery but less well when the computer is connected to AC
I use htop to monitor CPU and temperature. Looking at the balanced and performance power profiles, the difference is extremely small - which I would like to influence. In addition to this, I would like my fan to start working a little earlier to avoid hiccups. Now the fan barely starts, to later rush up to 100%. I want to tweak this.
The only way I have found so far, to keep a reasonable temperature in the computer, is to use power profile āpower saverā or to use cpupower to set the frequency to a lower level and thus achieve a lower temperature. However, I have to do this manually after every reboot.
As previously mentioned, I have set the CPU frequency to pull down the CPU slightly to avoid the heat. This through e.g. sudo cpupower frequency-set -u 4.8GHz. This works and I donāt notice much difference in performance in my daily work. However, I have to do this manually as I donāt know how to set this at boot.
To try to control the fans, I have used GitHub - TamtamHero/fw-fanctrl: A simple systemd service to better control Framework Laptop's fan(s). The tool gives me the opportunity to configure the fans as I wish, via a json file. There I can decide how the fan should act at a certain temperature - exactly what Iām looking for. However, it doesnāt feel like this is being activated at all. Which means that the profile never takes effect.
when I run sudo fw-fanctrl run I get the following results (probably due to the flag I used during installation)
Laptop-13-AMD-Ryzen-7040Series:~$ sudo fw-fanctrl run
